in the garden they captured you
and the box with our pictures too
and the bag with your mother's shoe
wrapped in foil
and the whispering grew to talk
it came over you like a fog
like the smell of your brother's dog
wet from the soil
and something about you died
something about you died
something about you died
your lips were a magnet
to the light
and then nothing remembered you
your unopened gifts were blue
they all knew that the pink ones would
make them feel better
and the picture was unsigned.
"to no one, from nothing, goodbye."
i don't know why i'm knitting you this sweater
and something about you died
something about you died
something about you died
your lips were a magnet
to the light
