murder on greenmount (treasure box of rocks)

this is a dirge for some one loved others unloved
you were old and broken necked washing in with the surf
you were a middleaged son on the street bleeding out
you were hustling then flying skullfirst into a banquet corridor floor
you were the fearful trigger child
you or ford or chevy drove the pickup truck
there was some other thing
you pickedup a whole fucking lot

red moon through clouds where the dead shall be
