PYRE

‘tis only right,

but we ain’t got time

for a proper burial.

Even a cairn

of unbridled possibility

stacking up to cover up

bodies

we pray you’ll never have to see.

We don’t want no animals

poking ‘round the remains.

The scent of fresh blood on the air

will drive ‘em down the valley

…and we want to be long gone by the time they get here.
