Angel of Death

I bury them 

  (Our dreams that grew in rocky soil)

In open graves

   (Throats lifted to the sky)

I set the home we made on fire

   (Before leaving the city)

I hang on

  (Knuckles white from gripping the wheel)

I destroy

  (A sword dripping poison) 

The plans we made 

  (Erase their names and births from the record)

Fugitive and wanderer

  (Full of eyes)

You will rest 

  (But not in peace) 

Disappearing in the rearview

  (All of our tomorrows)

Angel of death

  (Destroyer of light)

Separating soul from body

 (Returning to dust)

You leave behind flowers 

 (Stephanie has learned to bloom)
