matriarch from spring cleaning by Long Neck

i spilled coffee on the
coat you gave me, and i
wanted to say "sorry"
though you couldn't hear me.
and i still can see
your fingers on piano keys.
i don't know what you're playing
but you are sitting next to me

you summoned flowers from the ground
said "don't let the bastards get you down"
you summoned flowers

you'd sit on your porch with
your nose in a book. and
it was action-packed
you'd make sure of that!
in the morning you'd make
eggs on top, and i'd eat!
i have tried my hand
i can't make them like you did

you summoned flowers from the ground
said "don't let the bastards get you down"
you summoned flowers

you asked me why i didn't write a ballad yet
i wish i could have answered you right then
you asked me why i didn't write a ballad yet
will this do?
