Song in Plaster: J. Tilman, “First Born”

Filed Under Updates 

Go easy.
You are to have—ease it —an open hand while you pray.
Say, tell it, speak like it’s for a free pass.

A condemned man, you have to kill the rule.
You have to keep down at mind.

If you have to have me,
break the first born friend
till it pass over me, stricken designs.

Use your keep, if you have to,
you have to sell me over.

If, if, if . . . pass over that die.
