Where bells and whistles ring

They gather in opportune mounds

With mourning routinely displayed at the sound.

Cleanly attaching a hand to their hearts

Somewhere it all blended into middle moans

And you could see the requiem bring all of them to cry

As they commuted home to fill the gaps inside.
