Say Uncle[00:00:02]
****************************[00:00:05]
****************************[00:00:12]
everyone agrees it came too soon[00:00:15]
it was only meant to be an intersection[00:00:19]
you kept fear of death in back pocket of your jeans[00:00:26]
in the palm of your hand, affection[00:00:32]
it came like a sudden gust of wind[00:00:40]
leaving them, bewildered, to ask how[00:00:44]
I recall last time we met you said we'd meet again[00:00:51]
the irony is only bitter now[00:00:58]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:01:05]
they want to touch your spirit lest it die[00:01:10]
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table[00:01:16]
to form a healing circle for our new demise[00:01:23]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:01:29]
I retrieve the memories quickly as I can[00:01:35]
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds[00:01:41]
your body gone, we shall keep the man[00:01:48]
I close my eyes and hope they do not fade[00:02:03]
these remnants of a voice and of a smile[00:02:08]
images of landscape cloaked in forest green[00:02:15]
like your life unfolding mile by mile[00:02:21]
a fierce embrace, a word of thanks[00:02:28]
a cheerful whistle and hours in a van[00:02:33]
somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were[00:02:39]
though the ocean claims your ashes on the sand[00:02:45]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:02:51]
they want to touch your spirit lest it die[00:02:57]
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table[00:03:03]
to form a healing circle for our new demise[00:03:09]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:03:15]
I retrieve the memories quickly as I can[00:03:20]
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds[00:03:27]
your body gone, we shall keep the man[00:03:33]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:04:14]
they want to touch your spirit lest it die[00:04:19]
for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table[00:04:25]
to form a healing circle for our new demise[00:04:32]
these days everyone cries "say uncle"[00:04:38]
I retrieve the memories quickly as I can[00:04:44]
add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds[00:04:51]
your body gone, we shall keep the man[00:04:57]
