keep up with the good luck
make it sweet enough for the rest of us
put the blood up over the doors
and keep the first born under the floor boards
you can’t just keep looking back
you can’t just keep dusting tracks.
sit still until you know how to make the shape
sit up s.o.s. rush rush then just wait
remember how quickly it all just fell open
know in an instant that it won’t be closed again
you sat on the edge together throwing things in
now you owe it to him to keep a stiff upper lip
