The Funeral Party
Two pale figures
I watched
Memories of children's dreams
I heard a song
Ache in silence
Timeless
In the quiet ground
Side by side
In age and sadness
And acted wordlessly
As piece by piece
You perform your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party
Lie lifelessly
Fading
Lifelessly
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party
And turned away
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party
