Papa died smiling
|
Wide as the ring of a bell
|
Gone all star white
|
Small as a wish in a well
|
And Sodom, South Georgia
|
Woke like a tree full of bees
|
Buried in Christmas
|
Bows and a blanket of weeds
|
|
Papa died Sunday and I understood
|
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
|
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
|
|
Papa died while my
|
Girl Lady Edith was born
|
Both heads fell like
|
Eyes on a crack in the door
|
And Sodom, South Georgia
|
Slept on an acre of bones
|
Slept through Christmas
|
Slept like a bucket of snow
|
|
Papa died Sunday and I understood
|
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
|
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
|
