Translation
Bilingual
I hear his father wishes
They hadn't bickered over politics
So much of their time spent
In argument and bitterness
When wouldn't he have preferred
To help build his son's house
To haul the beams, lay cement
To do it right the first time
But what he didn't know is
The house was his boy
Before it and he collapsed
"Come pick me up"
Without warning trapping those outside
Howling for help
From God, from Jesus, from the same parties
Who'd withheld
His lover from his bed
Through the grapevine
Nowhere now in this emergency
But their cries
Grow quieter and darker like all
Sirens chasing answers
From professionals like penance
From priests
"Come pick me up"
"Come pick me up"
Whose costumes become grotesque
Walls of waiting
For any explanation
As if it could exhume him
And restore him to
Twenty-two and skinny
Fidgeting in his bed
Tasting cities
To decide where to build and
Blare his embarrassing music
Like a tea kettle that's singing
"I'm ready"
"Come pick me up"
"Come pick me up"
"I'm ready"
