The Judas Box
He lies there in a fine box with ornate handles and is carried into the church

His wife who is not dressed in black lets me sniff her perfumed bouquet
Hayhoyeaho
It is sweet and sticky and excites my senses. I pluck a single flower and dance quietly around the font
Hayhoyeaho
A single choirboy sings in the Lady Chapel and his unbroken voice invites desire. He is instantly loved by all present
Hayhoyeaho
On my return to the churchyard I notice a happy breeze which masks my sneaking sorrow
Hayhoyeaho
My sister and I compare scars with his wife and niece before depositing soil into the open grave
Hayhoyeaho
In a year I will return and exhume his bones and we will display them as ornaments in each of our homes
Hayhoyeaho
But for now we will laugh and enjoy our loss and play games quite innocently in the bushes spread wide
Hayhoyeaho
Yeahohayho
