I understand a little of the Palm Sundays coming down
o Lord the temporizing sunshine, welcoming parades
the cries of Hosanna that fade fade fade
the very echoes dying away
and then the skies grow dark
and you are left to face alone
what you did not impart
how hard it is to see true friends turn to dust
or what is left of them, stare you blankly in the eyes
then turn aside
as if
you had never been.
