Posse

The gang crowds over a table once again

Where this naked body, lies etherized 

Someone complains about the stink

But no one does anything about the rot

They talk of gods and demons

Conversations linger like dragonflies

Over squalid waters on summer noons

Conversations drift like smoke from a dying cigarette

They discuss everything that needs to be done

In next moment, forgetting it all 

They whisper one moment, and then yell

Forgetting the oaths that bind them to each other

Perhaps the world has already ended

Perhaps it's waiting for the death knell

Disinterested, they ask each other's well being

Removed from reality, they lie, all well
