Elucidating Questions

Like you remembered to feel emotion

We left her there we put her there we left her

Behind cold brick and linoleum floors

Behind doors and there dogs there’s always dogs

We left her there

Can I undo it?

This desperate attempt to realise you didn’t cry

Until you remembered to cry

Why I went along with it

My insides screaming

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

But silent tread let’s go to

That’s heartbreaking you said

I was immediately stabbed in the chest

With the end

It could matter

It could

I want to believe in a world where they are believing in the silence of

The silent march like toy soldiers

Because she said so so it must be

Mommy dearest

Mommy said so so silently

No longer shall she tread

Truly madly deeply dearly departed

Might I pluck your thread again
