I hear your name
Whispered in shrieks
Written in blood
Spelled out in snakes.
If I step in gum,
See a child cry,
Hear a man berate his wife
For his own personal pleasure
If I see a gunfight,
Wake up coldly sweating and unaware
Hear a siren
Smoke a laced cigarette that makes me sick
Take a rusty nail through my shoe
No, make that ten rusty nails.
These are the little things that remind me each day
Of the merry memory of you.
