Passed a dog in an unmarked grave

The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging

I saw a lie in the mirror this morning

And Emily they come and go

The shadows and the distant sounds

But Emily don’t be afraid

When the weight of angels weighs you down
Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight’s the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room
