Grandmother veins wrapped like seatbelts around necks
Head first through windshields
Arms reaching around their tombstones
Worms playing hide and seek in kidneys
Gutted pigs in slaughter
Faded wreaths
Fake flowers
Streetlights
Disappearing children
We are fading with each step
Dust in the wind
Dissipating
Happy birthday whispered
Baby wings on *******
India ink burned
Who do you belong to
Who gave you the key to unlock your shackles
Fly from the car
Yellow caution tape
Siren anthems
Resounding death rings
Head first through windshields
Arms reaching around their tombstones
Worms playing hide and seek in kidneys
Gutted pigs in slaughter
Faded wreaths
Fake flowers
Streetlights
Disappearing children
We are fading with each step
Dust in the wind
Dissipating
Happy birthday whispered
Baby wings on *******
India ink burned
Who do you belong to
Who gave you the key to unlock your shackles
Fly from the car
Yellow caution tape
Siren anthems
Resounding death rings
Ten of my classmates died this year in car accidents or strange medical mix ups. by the line "who gave you the key to unlock your shackles" I am referencing that none of us are truly free, how did 10 of you get away? I'm not sure if I'm even making sense anymore. Does anyone really read this part anyway?
