Sleeper
Time flies quicker
Than the ache it tries to shake off
In spite of that tho’
She lost count and forgot
Just how many bows
She had fashioned with black ribbon
Since they rang her, and the shit hit the fan
They call it divine intervention
Some said it was a cull
We called it slaughter ..
Some described her as a termagant
But she was still somebodies daughter
My word, she was more than just his wife
She really was unique
Two conch shells filled with Semtex
Strapped to her breasts
And yes, she was smiling, even chewing gum
Despite a dozen fallen sparrows at her feet
Tell me darling, before you go, he begged
What is the worst thing about here ..
Leaving you, she said is the worst thing by far
But I must go my love, for I am many things ..
Most of which, you do not have a clue
So kiss the kids goodbye from me ..
Pray tell them that I love them and I love you too
Those were her last words, he was able to recall ...
