Why are you not where you belong? / A black hat on a hook says nothing. / Ashes mirror ashes / In a mirroring window.
Mary Jo BangTo say you loved a person. / To say that person no longer exists. / A tragic flawed fate going on and on and on.
Mary Jo BangYou are reduced / To the after-sorrow / That will last my lifetime. The hair-tearing / Grief of the mother / Whose child has been swept away.
