Crying for you Uncle Abie And Uncle Nate
We'll all be dead forever
So why this morning
Am I crying for you Uncle Abe and Uncle Nate
Each dead so many years now?
I remember the darkness the loneliness the hatred and sadness
Of your living alone together after Bubbe and Zayde died
I see you as you were then
Screaming and cursing one another
You'll have no second chance
The sun will never shine for you again
Nate Nucham of the sheepish smile
And Abie of the three sister girl-friends and their mother
Together with him on his Sunday walk
We are all bugs nuts crazy people introverts
Said Dad
Am I any different from you
And will be
Under the dark ground
Or in the wall
Of Givat Shaul
One day soon?
