Frail hinges pivot on
A cases door, commemorative
Souvenirs from places
Containers change, each occasion
Cellophane encased
Displaying paper certificate
The credit years of service
A tool of central enterprises
The early hope for permanence
The words the rings, consistency
And social security
The miracles, high tragedy
A thought mistaken for a memory
Dress lengths, a**a**inations
Fractured family ties
And christenings
Local posts they list your friends
In order, disappearance
Lawn scattered tins, feed birds
The portion baked for absent guests
And the ma** edition icon
God sent comfort, your salvation
But who grants absolution
For sins that never were committed?
Tension makes a tangle of
Each thought becomes inconvenience
Sound doesn't ever penetrate
As servile edges break and faint
A thought mistaken for a memory
Clear the dust from smiles in boxes
Cross a patterned wall
Recall the voices
A thought mistaken for a memory
Dress lengths, a**a**inations
Fractured family ties
And christenings and christenings
All fractured family ties
And christenings
And christenings
