after your death the crows came

they descended on our place

with white jackets and stethoscopes

they unravelled you from the wall.

i kept thinking

here she wept and here she sang

 

after your death i had to sit down

i sat for so long the government changed

they rewrote the constitution and now there was a cure

i kept thinking

here she wept and here she lived

 

after your death i began telling everyone you were murdered
