the last ambulance
end of eyes
and of a dusk drawl
civil twilight for hair
sodium rain
when a day is done
destroyer in vein
watching the same car crash
over and over
and although you are still here
you teach me how to mourn your passing
one ambulance
at a time
and of a dusk drawl
civil twilight for hair
sodium rain
when a day is done
destroyer in vein
watching the same car crash
over and over
and although you are still here
you teach me how to mourn your passing
one ambulance
at a time

Until I saw the themes, I thought this was about the passing of a special person in your life. Regardless, the loss is portrayed beautifully. I love the powerful close.
Thanks. I wasn't sure how comprehensible this would be. Just some thoughts on a friend dealing with substance abuse. I've been to the ER multiple times now with her.

Grae, this is one very moving work. I'm a sucker for simplicity, and you fucking nailed it here. Keep on writin'.

It's sad, but I like this. Starkly minimalist, the choice of each word sharpened. Strong ending
