On a cases door
Commemorative
Souvenirs from places
Containers change
With each occasion
Cellophane encased
Displaying paper
Certificate
Credit years of service
A tool of
Central enterprises
The early hope
For permanence the
Words the rings
Consistency
And social security the
Miracles high tragedy
A thought mistaken
For a memory
Dress lenghts
Assassinations
Fractured family ties
Christenings
Local posts they
List your friends
In order of
Disappearance
Lawn scattered tins
Feed birds the
Portion baked for
Absent guests
Mass edition icon
God sent comfort is
Your salvation
But who grants
Absolution for sins
That never were committed
Tension
Makes a tangle
Of each thought becomes
Inconvenience
Sound never penetrate
As servile edges
Break and faint
A thought mistaken
For a memory
Clear the dust from
Smiles in boxes
Cross a patterned floor
Recall the voices
Frail hinges pivot On a cases door Commemorative Souvenirs from places Containers change With each occasion Cellophane encased Displaying paper Certificate Credit years of service A tool of Central enterprises The early hope For permanence the Words the rings Consistency And social security the Miracles high tragedy A thought mistaken For a memory Dress lenghts Assassinations Fractured family ties Christenings Local posts they List your friends In order of Disappearance Lawn scattered tins Feed birds the Portion baked for Absent guests Mass edition icon God sent comfort is Your salvation But who grants Absolution for sins That never were committed Tension Makes a tangle Of each thought becomes Inconvenience Sound never penetrate As servile edges Break and faint A thought mistaken For a memory Clear the dust from Smiles in boxes Cross a patterned floor Recall the voices Explain Request ×
