saint and did not marry

the nameless one
saint aggers wife is now forgotten
gave birth to saint ump & saint rap
gave birth to noone
dying in the fire reat had set
is nothing but a history
brief at best
an end of one thing
beginning of another
premonition of a future time or line we will be writing
one thing makes sense
one thing only
to live with people
day by day
that struggle
to carry you forward
it is the only way
a future music moves now to be written

a hymn for saint iff
a song for his only son
the lonely one who died less lonely
& for his son
who never knew him
a song to
carry him thru to
the end
