lyrics

you were staring down the barrel
on the day that we met
it was nothing new
you were accustomed to
playing the poor hand and cheating death

smokeless powder in the chamber
pennies in the well

the coins still glistening
the water not fit to drink
impurities spread
pooled in your chest
soaking your marrow
lacing your breath

whispering a strong bone mantra
screaming a lullaby

please hold on
I knew what I had
before it was gone

this final law
gnashed in the gnaw of nature’s jaw

tooth and claw

you must have had a premonition
isolate as you started to fade
the dignity of peacefully
passing in your own way

I hope you knew how I cared for you
as the teeth finished their grind

I make a plea to praise the living
the way we honor the dead
to nurture this cruel nature
that orchestrates our beginnings and ends

the staccatos and legatos
the warbles and the chimes

in your memory
extend the tenderness
you stirred in me

tooth and claw
it’s all red in tooth and claw
