Squirrels and Opossums

Gray is so deathly

I watched it all, blood red

From tires you bring guilt

You deliver them no reprieve

From the window,

you look much sweeter

Down on the pavement,

you couldn't make hell any deeper

You're still half beautiful though

Every breathing lung disagrees

Your ***** blood is all you have to show

I won't recite you stories, you're dead

Just bury this in your non-existent grave

I ponder upon your disintegrating- I'll think

I amend the vultures that choose your corpse

You'll have that home you wanted

Even if it's for a little while
