Last night, I leveled with the angels
They were everywhere
there was nothing I could do
It wasn’t their call.
We entered the house greeted by a stranger who
who would soon replace ours.
And right away
I knew I was entering
a place of uncertainty and disdain.
Why is father on the phone?
Did he notice her withering hand?
Or is it something she said?
Up this flight of stairs
how dare I enter this room and this house.
I descend into a room down the hall
My hands are shaking
I must reason with the angels.
They will understand
They will see the tears,
tell everyone I can make them let her go…
And right away
I knew I was entering
a place of uncertainty and disdain.
Why is father on the phone?
Did he notice her withering hand?
Or is it something she said?
Up this flight of stairs
how dare I enter this room and this house.
And this house.
Right now.
she’s in heaven now
this house couldn’t work as a cage for an angel
Now it’s me
I’ve got to go
to a place of uncertainty and disdain.
Why is father on the phone?
Did he notice her withering hand?
Or is it something she said?
Up this flight of stairs
how dare I enter this room on the phone,
did he notice her withering hand?
Or is it something she said?
Up this flight of stairs
how dare I enter this room and this house
