It was the first get-together After you were dead. I sat there in my long skirt with my tennis shoes And wondered about you. I stared outside, the smoke from the fire made it seem like it was hot outside, It's November 27th It looked hot outside. Were you in the trees, Or the grass, Were you the heat, Were you just ash? Could you read my mind? Are you fine? Is God real, Is heaven divine? Or is hell hot, And the Devil cold. Does he like being called Lucifer? You'd think I'd know. Smoking kills, We blew you're ashes away.
