The Existential Forest

from going home by Katie Dill

/

lyrics

the trees are falling down all
over the broken ground and
someone is bound, is bound to hear.

the mothers with their sons or
the fathers with their guns or
the daughters sleeping through the year.

the bark it likes to twist, tur-
ning to Misses and Mister
Lovely, who do not love eachother.

and the leaves revealing faces
who give kisses just in case this
doesn't work out in their favor.

well empty forests aren't so empty
but the beds are when the boys leave;
nothing can keep them in the tree.

and the sky it is quite lengthy,
reminding them that they're free.
what is there left to do but leave?

so he kept them,
oh he kept them
from leaving,
and we wept them,
oh, how we wept them
for leaving.
