Zuri

Your house beyond the dunes, sea roses beneath the sky, picket fences ease your ruin, a life that's been great, absence poems always cry, sing sweeter than the prostrate, even God is not immune, he puts your love aside, some things can't be duped, fire burns in the grate, don't tell me how you lied, smoke rises it gets late, is it me or the blues, dying in the tide, can't you see you fool, no voice makes me salivate, eves hanging out to dry, being near your fire place, they ask how are you, pilloried troubles slight, what a dancing troupe, drapes their disguise.
