He sits on the bench
And for the very first time
Feels peaceful and tranquil
Yet he doesn’t have a dime

He lost his family and his home
In the blaze of a fire
He’s now all alone, and had lost all desire

Desire to rebuild a life once again
He lost his wife and baby
And he’s lost all his friends

He mourns for his wife, and his baby girl
That has left him in a bottle on this bench to hurl

It’s time to crawl out
Of the bottle of gin
He still has a full life ahead
If he’d only begin…
What is it all really for?

bones
We danced toward
each other's wounds

with gentle step
and touched inside

and now the bleeding
has resumed

and all this blood
is hard to hide.
