    under antenna towering
    you ground up shamrocks
    sprinkling eulogies
    goodbye to let go

    and no one was watching
    but lightning bugs massing
    were flashing so flagrantly
    little and yellow

    like diamonds dancing around enchanting
    under the evergreens on fluttering faery wings

    there was a funeral drum
    made from silver aluminum
    that beat dead parts of your heart

    till fingers wet from wiping salt watery eyes
    lit your candles and closed up the curtains

    later you let trailer trash
    leave black bruises sobering fat
    and two whole weeks under wraps
    were warded with questions
    nobody asks

    till blood was boiling
    in globes of crystal clouds
    under feathered comforters
    where your dead brown
    eyes drowned

    Holy smokes.
    That was intense. And I'm listening to Modest Mouse and this just goes along ever so perfectly. Subtle hints of something tragic, bittersweet and warm. Lovely.
