bless you
bless our victorious war
i pray for you
blood and candy mixing on
the floor
i close your eyes
strings of candy corns
a string of pearls
a candy for each day
each one breathes memories
in a hollow man who says,
‘i hear a voice’
strings of candy corns
all silhouettes
walk in front of me
they fear your face
when around their necks
i place these candy beads
strings of candy corn
