| Frail hinges pivot | |
| On a cases door | |
| Commemorative | |
| Souvenirs from places | |
| Containers change | |
| With each occasion | |
| Cellophane encased | |
| Displaying paper | |
| Certificate | |
| Credit years of service | |
| A tool of | |
| Central enterprises | |
| The early hope | |
| For permanence the | |
| Words the rings | |
| Consistency | |
| And social security the | |
| Miracles high tragedy | |
| A thought mistaken | |
| For a memory | |
| Clear the dust from | |
| Smiles in boxes | |
| Cross a patterned floor | |
| Recall the voices | |
| Local posts they | |
| List your friends | |
| In order of | |
| Disappearance | |
| Lawn scattered tins | |
| Feed birds the | |
| Portion baked for | |
| Absent guests | |

| God sent comfort is | |
| Your salvation | |
| But who grants | |
| Absolution for sins | |
| That never were committed | |
| Tension | |
| Makes a tangle | |
| Of each thought becomes | |
| Inconvenience | |
| Sound never penetrate | |
| As servile edges | |
| Break and faint | |
| Dress lenghts | |
| Assassinations | |
| Fractured family ties | |
| Christenings |
