Bobby

You were older
Older than me
Sucking on a sponge
As your cancerous lungs tried to breathe

In late October
When daughter Maria comes
And she's sitting on the edge
Of the hospital bed that you'll leave us on

And when it's all over
Will you forget what I've said?
Whatever memorial is
Carved over Amy's head

Bobby's coming with you
Even though she says you're mean
Will you face it in the corner
Corner where I smoke my weed?
Ate flowers in the winter
Guessing what I think you'd say
Well Bobby's coming with you
Even if my wings might break

And old Tascosa
Is lying on my back
While I'm twitching my legs like the
Spider crawling from the bed to the bathroom

And the pelican's neck
Left its shape on the bed
When I tried to memorize all the words you said
And the way that you said them

Bobby's coming with you
Even though she says you're mean
While you're kneeling just to take some
Weight off of your swollen feet
Ate flowers in the winter
Wondering what I did that for
Well Bobby's coming with you
You don't have to say anymore
