Widowed Wife
There is drumming
Inside two lovers on a date
I have one that is much similar
And betrayal pulled the trigger
Beating against me every hour harder
Like a ticking explosive
That I need to deactivate
The land was barren, the sky was black
As I watched his back right before I shoved
My will was sturdy and set
My hands are red and now everything has changed
The drumming gets louder
Tender and weak are my heart and brain
In the darkest hour awake I remain
Sure that this banging won’t simmer
Until I am confessed and from this truth delivered
Today the land is fruitful and the sky is red
His heart is black and so is the rest
I remembered when I shoveled more dirt to cover his chest!
Behold a beautiful flowerbed flourishes life from the dead
