When I went out to kill myself
I caught a pack of Hoodlumsbeating up a manrunning to spare his suffering
I forgot my name, my number
How my day began
How soldiers milled around the garden stoneand sang amusing songshow all that daytheir javelins measured crowds
How I alonebargained the proper coinsand slipped away Banished from heaven
I found this victimbeaten stripped kneedand left to crydropping aside my rope
I ranignored the uniformsthen I remembered breadmy flesh had eatenthe kiss that ate my fleshflayed without hope
I held that man for nothing in my arms
