Although our bodies recoil From the grip of the soil I'm too tired to hear you Despite being near you Though your face I will take To the grip of the stake Your hands tied too tight In the heat of my flight Please, please stop asking me To decide what cannot be Your bones like soft metal Deserve harder battle Though I cringe at the sight Of your trembling might You're much too weary To see me so clearly And stop trying to sweep What's already too deep We can't dig when our hands Are still buried in sand

Proper Burial
Although our bodies recoil From the grip of the soil I'm too tired to hear you Despite being near you Though your face I will take To the grip of the stake Your hands tied too tight In the heat of my flight Please, please stop asking me To decide what cannot be Your bones like soft metal Deserve harder battle Though I cringe at the sight Of your trembling might You're much too weary To see me so clearly And stop trying to sweep What's already too deep We can't dig when our hands Are still buried in sand
