Sodom, South Georgia

Papa died smiling

Wide as the ring of a bell

Gone all star white

Small as a wish in a well

And Sodom, South Georgia

Woke like a tree full of bees

Buried in Christmas

Bows and a blanket of weedsPapa died Sunday and I understood

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

White tongues hang out, "God is good"Papa died while my

Girl Lady Edith was born

Both heads fell like

Eyes on a crack in the door

And Sodom, South Georgia

Slept on an acre of bones

Slept through Christmas

Slept like a bucket of snowPapa died Sunday and I understood

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

White tongues hang out, "God is good"
