Farewell Remorse


It’s only when we meet like this
That we admit our feigned submission
Only here that we may find
A dear short intermission

And in a moment we quit the debt
Immense of endless gratitude we
Cut that cord and then we fall

How soon unsay we
Dance and we recant
How far from granting we
Say we can’t repent

Now dearly we abide the day so vain
Now we go under with unsaintly
Torments we abide the night

So when do we conclude we
Who say that from fine minds
Fine thoughts ensue?

When we get here we know
We only ever do two days—
The day we open the closet
And the day we close it
