Pyramid

(Daniel Roy Connelly)

Pryamid follows a man in Rome who has fled a love affair. He's sitting on top of a Pyramid where he is diistracted by joyful memory and new-found despair at the ruins of his life.

Pull the bodies from the Tiber,  
Wipe the mud and brine away,  
We drink to every failure,  
We’ll never run dry.  
 
The top of a pyramid,  
Top of the morning,  
The view is absorbing,  
All Rome before me,  
Ruins and surprise,  
I reach into time’s endless tides.  
 
That day when we swam  
Ourselves into the ground,  
We’d parsnip for dinner 
And eels for desert,  
And the night of our lives,  
Later, you in my shirt  
And my face buried deep in your thighs.  
 
Pull the bodies from the Tiber,  
Wipe the mud and brine away,  
We drink to every failure,  
We’ll never run dry.  
 
We weren’t built to last,  
We were made to stand firm 
Like this pyramid I’m on,  
That day you came home 
With a tat in my name,  
I’ve only one photo  
Left on my phone,  
And the pain, and the pain, and the pain.
