Dm A

challenging the surgeon said
like fixing a broken potato chip
glue and staples and feeding tubes
a ruined face a ruined face

digging you out of the ground from under the barn the meekest of sounds
and slower and slower and slower
the words did fall from their mouths
I ran from the sound the softening sounds the quieting breaths a ruined face
a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face

climbing descending and cutting and rending our
barbed picket fencing I begged for an ending we
searched I didn’t search enough I
never could be troubletough I
pawed and hacked and scratched at the slabs and the
planks and the nails that bore into my flanks as I
bled and you fled, spider webs in my head and I
reached out and cried for your trust yes I lied yes I lied a ruined face a ruined face a ruined
mind the gap said a voice from behind my left eye in the life before roots intertwined in our pots and our beds and our pipes of black lead and our fire as it bathed the old house in wet red and the meekest of sounds it grew loud it grew loud as our baby did shriek we could never be proud of that place a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face a ruined face
