Many hours on the cemetery grounds
in the quiet of the noon
at a glorious remove without them
36-roll of Kodak Kodachrome
the way the pleather shines
on the drugstore 4-by-6 prints on your walls and
on the visor of your Civic with the rubber bands
we're holding on for dear life on the way to
Cemetery days

Cemetery days
Couple of goth kids browsing burgundy crushed velvet by the yard
at Hobby Lobby while a clerk named Bonnie eyes them up and down
clutching at her silver-plated cross necklace with a vicious set of claws
thinking, "There ought to be a law about it."
They didn't not notice but they laugh it off
while inside it's like when his mom would say,
"Danny, before Sunday service I insist you cut your hair."
It's like when her mom would say,
"Virginia, I will never understand those hideous clothes you wear."
"I swear you'll drive me to an early grave inside the cemetery gates."

Cemetery days
The idle fool is whipped at school.
Cultivate an eye for love in all its forms
and all the dead things that we adore
we're not too into life and all its bores
thoroughly over all the modern ways
we long for

Here lies the body of Danny in the corduroy
Fifteen years among the living as a do-what-he's-told boy
Here lies the body of Virginia with the sunny disposition
Fifteen years among the living in a
gunmetal town / superfund site / subdivision
You wonder why they want to shed their skins
to reemerge in an armor of
horror and sin
murder and mayhem
blood and guts and gore and
esoteric lore
To spend their remaining days behind
cemetery gates

Behind the gates in the sun all alone
among the lily of the valley

Karma clones
Scattered ashes
of the papier-mâché masks that we wore
Skulls and stones

We issue you your hatchling passwords
treasure them forever
(but you know full well free is not free at all)
