Blank Dirge

we play blank dirge
we string the cords
wrapped in china wire
we glitter on
ermine white
flecked pigment
muted hearts
simple pleasures
golden years
now gone
you never knew you wanted
so much
azaleas
and her lovely white
lovely white
lovely white breasts
and it plays for you
you played for me
i played for you
you played for me
and she's dancing
she's dancing
and her silence is scratching
to be let in and
it purrs
it purrs
it purrs
it purrs
it purrs
it purrs
it purrs
a whimper pushing through
