Domestic Violets

We laughed and we cried
We had some drinks
Like pigs in denial
Like morbid chimps
Tell me what you think
What to make of this
Can we fill in the gaps
Make a pretty house and live happily
Cover up our tracks
Build up a terrace above the oblivion
And cut down the trees and let the Sun in
Into the night

Now lonley days like cans of maze
And rags that are soaked in ether
Didn't seem so bad when he was there
The sky was filled with daffodils
The nights dazzled in domestic violets
Grew behind her smile
To keep in denial
