Yahrzeit Homily

We're constantly trembling men
 Lives invested in glass houses
 Reflections abroad, but narrowed and drawn
 Just to watch as I drift between dreams
 Do you recall the roads we paved
 Along the way
 Complete us
 We're doing our best to get by
 Is it absolute
 To die and be forgotten
 We complete us
 When we know ourselves so well
 Will you wait by the river,
 To see if we make it home safe?
 Are we safe?
 Are you safe?
 We remember you
 As a child in the arms of the infinite
 We remember
 As you pass through the wombs of the earth
 The smell of cigarettes seeps through the door
 As if I wasn't enough, you keep asking for more
 Begging and borrowed, you call out my name
 But you're far too young to not be in the game
 We can't leave here
 Until we open the door
 Sarcophagus bliss or intangible copies
 We work to free ourselves from what's free
 You can't breathe here or find a lost cause
 With my ash in the urn, who's counting what's gone
 We remember you
 As a child in the arms of the infinite
 We remember
 As you pass through the wombs of the earth
