Most Precious Blood

Funeral Photography

Most Precious Blood


Complete and total paralysis 
Attaching to things we'll never miss
Where we live is this 
A rotting casket scaled with a kiss
Devour each day, the only way
In the blink of an eye it can be stolen away 
Counting every second winding down
Like days in the heart of hell 
Where all the dead wishes go
And the unloved and placeless dwell 
Grins and poses
Every photo of the living funeral photography 
It won't be me
We mourn the living 
One chance to do what you must
This is our one time around 
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
