ash

the grass the grass

is turning white

but not with frost

or snow tonight

...

its ash they say

gone far astray

somewhere out west

has blown away

..

i'm frightened that

the kids don't call

they don't live far

from there at all

...

i think i'll go

and take a nap

my chest is thick

i feel like crap

...

so now i lay me

down to sleep

the ash has come

it will be deep

...

i pray i die

before i wake

cemented lungs

i suffocate...
