our house

playing god-like royal anthems

in our houses, then condemn them
crossing bricks laid by "spics"
on the border twitch with boredom
 
keep your shadows closely knit
but not closer than the basement
recall the fall of Paul
to keep your head in perfect placement
 
stuttered silence sets the scene
blood colored shutters fall to green
unresolved, a hidden wall
and buried pavement in-between
 
recount the humble vision
of the true breeders decision
mercury memories mess with me 
to recall the kitchen as children
 
sibling torture or adventure
found a shotgun, i remember
playing hide and seek together
sidewalk grave we walk forever
