a long black car
carries a young couple
they trade flowers
on the steps of the dance hall
a long black car
carries a young couple
they laid flowers
on the graves after the funeral

like the small itch before the writhing pain,
humidity before the hurricane,
the end is coming
there’s no use running
a fragile family heirloom
for which no one seems to care
a quickly passing phantom
you’re not sure it was ever even there
a million cracks in the glass
