There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes I threw them to the sea,
D E
but a gust blew them backwards and the sting in my eyes

that you then inflicted was par for the course just as when you were living.

It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father

We never saw the money that went down your throat
E
through the hole in your belly.

Thirteen years old in the subsurbs of Denver,

standing in line for Thanksgiving dinner at the Catholic church.

The servers wore crosses to shield from the sufferance plaguing the others.

charity reeks of cheap wine and pity and I'm thinking of you,
E4 E F
I do every year when we count all our blessings
E
and wonder what we're doing here.

A
I won't join the procession that's speaking their peace,
F#m D
using five dollar words while praising his integrity.
F E
he was bastard in life, thus a bastard in death.
