Jack survived off secrets strangulation And died when he fell off a ladder in California, painting the sides of a church seeking forgiveness in hand-strokes I do not forgive you All over the American west running group homes A teacher Rape is a four letter word in certain vocabularies of incest Did you know time keeps track Burdens of family, the circus tent of children And now your son deconstructs himself daily What did they learn Teaching how to grow their own vegetables, wards of state And the barren landscapes of desert limit hope in the harvest Digress grandfather I hope eight years in prison broke you Your forgiveness the sultry stain of fear Know my children won’t know your name They won’t paint the sides of churches Strokes of foregiveness Teaching family secrets and surviving A circular circus Saving him Silent and forgiving Silence in circular seeking.
