Ode To Mary Kelly
by Abby Normal

Dark city sidewalks
bleed soft parades
scattered figures
play a strange charade

I hear her singing from down the way
A lovely sad serenade

Her red hair
Her fair skin
Sweet the troubles of the soothing gin
she let him in

The angels wept cold tears of rain
but he just smiled and smiled again
I see him standing by the broken pane
from hell he is and come again

Her warm eyes
Her kind heart
She was kindness
In an unkind part
Shes a dark star

The fire glowed out its lonely light
to the courtyard of the night
and when it died, the devils sight
beheld a bird on heaven's flight

Mary Kelly
Sweet soul
Over green fields
white clouds roll

Over Ireland
White clouds roll

[Barnaby]

Abby Normal, you have more talent than me, but our hearts are in the same place.
