Don't Help Me Katie*

Filthy, crumpled, wax-faced dolls had been dressed
In the clothes of the people he loved
For an hour, two hours, three, three, three.

Above all, oh God, above all, for beginners,
Nothing sudden, nothing sudden.

Hardest, the longest, the sheerest
I'm sorry. Don't help me Katie, not yet.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
