Carrying The Memory In Her Mouth
That's how she did--
Passed down memory,
Passed down memory,
Passed down
Through family,
Through family,
Through,
And on it went.
The courtly love affairs,
The weak and the strong,
And don't forget the lunatic fringe,
For where would the South be
Without our deranged
Locked away in
The very next room?
And the dastardly,
All of them,
All of them,
All,
Alive,
In vivid color, sounds, actions, music,
All of them,
Once living, breathing souls,
Now,
Only recollections--
Memories,
She passes down
Through her words,
She carries in her mouth--
