the day you die
john sweet
the shy is an incredible shade
of blue on the day you die
huge with all the leaves just
beginning to turn and your friends
looking away as if they'd never
seen you before and your wife
with another lover your children
lost scattered in a ll directions
and your hands cold in the
sunlight with the knowledge
that tomorrow won't be any
better and you'll never be able
to keep your walls from finally
falling down around you
