Please remember me happily, by the rosebush laughing

with bruises on my chin the time when we counted every

black car passing your house beneath the hill and

up until someone caught us in the kitchen with maps,

a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision to remove dimensions,

but please remember me fondly.

I heard from someone you?re still pretty and then they

went on to say that the pearly gates had some

eloquent graffiti like we?ll meet again and fuck the man

and tell my mother not to worry and angels with their

gray and shades but all is done in such a hurry and

please remember me at Halloween making fools of all the neighbors

our faces painted white by midnight we?d forgotten one another

and when the morning came I was ashamed

only now it seems so silly that seasons left the world and then returned

and now you?re lit up by the city

so please remember me mistakenly in the window of the tallest tower

call and passes by but much to high to see

the empty road at happy hour gleam and resonate

just like the gates around the holy kingdom

with words I?ve lost and found and don?t look down

did someone save temptation and please remember me

as in the dream we had as rug burn babies among

the fallen trees and fast asleep beside the lions and

the ladies that called you what you like and even mine

give a gift for your behavior of lead and chance to see

a trapeze swinger high as in a savior but

please remember me, my misery and how it lost me all I wanted

those dogs that loved the rain and chasing trains

the colored birds above they?re running in circles round the well

and where it smells on the wall behind St. Peter so bright

on cinder gray and spray paint. who the hell can see forever?

and please remember me soundly in the car behind the carnival

my hand between your knees you turn from me said

the trapeze act was wonderfulbut now were meant to last

the clowns that passed saw me just come up with anger

when it filled the circus dolls the parking lot had an element of danger

so please remember me finally and all my uphill crawling

my dear but if I make the pearly gates I?ll do my best to make a drawing of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl, an angel kissing on a sinner, a monkey and a man, a marching band all around a fractured trapeze swinger.
