I have no choice but to treat you like you died
Sprinkle the soil, to bury you
We can no longer bear your Jovian will
It’s a massive thing, but in the end it’s just a cloud
All we did was build ideas
Unreachable and cavernous
Omnipotent, ravenous
A shady lane, a picket fence
And all was based on faithfulness
On hollow, trustless lust and sex
And I can’t believe we were so bold
To sculpt and mold what the future holds
Because our woods burned down two weeks ago
And our pond dried up to reveal the bones
Of our child who drowned when she was too young
And my body couldn’t bear the second one
Now all that’s left is our empty home
A flame-bitten exoskeleton
So in a thousand years when I’ve renewed
I’ll tear at the soil that buried you
Desperately try to exhume
But there’ll be nothing left that I knew of you
You’ll be somewhere far away
A new girlfriend, a better place
A house, a home, a dream fulfilled
And I hope with a newfound iron will
