I'm No Fool
And the widow hung herself with water,
the corpse on fire, no burns afterward
a surgeon shrieks! all baffle and bother
for when the chest was agape, not a literate word
was sounded as the heart leapt back and forth
silence, i thought death
fluid, i thought water
flicker, i thought flame
these were the last thoughts of mine
as the heart eats! all laughter and loftier
for its tongues split in arches of lightning rime
a melody ill never remember, a life ill never surrender
i say as i lay on a gurney
ba-dum ba-drum back then
i wouldve said run
but im no fool....
