i try to forget about her
but she keeps on appearing, everywhere
there's a small young possum dead
trapped under my back door
half body in, half body out
but completely dead
and my neighbor's cat...
and this mysterious pain in my breast
when i breath
when i care
when, for the cats, i search
i keep on being reminded
of how fragile life is
and of the constant menace
she is, always
'cause where there's life
and there's hope
she likes to lurk
to ensnare!
i wish i could
about her, forget
but as soon as i misrecollect her
she comes forth again!
she's a constant threat
please please
oh death!
do go away
i'd like to breath
i'd like to forget
