Analysis of Pillow
She ate the bud of a white rose
And the tiny pillows relaxed on her tongue
Like a tablet dissolving all the pains away
Clouds of light filled her mind as angels passed her by
And her thought floated up to God the father
who whispered to her like the tiny squeeks in her breath as she talked softly back
she said not even the angels can hear us lord
He said no, nor this part of your innocent soul
After a long time her body began to stir and awaken to a dream of a cartoon dog with tubes on his paw who had sadly, slowly passed away
When I die God she thought I'm going to be a cartoon too
