the Stars spilled rage
milky white coming of age
so distraught, shaking fists
of rage.......cryin' out,"what
I gotta do?"

this morning the Stars
spilled rage
full Moon hung
it's aged face
all that was believed
turned upside down
once again.....

this morning the Stars
spilled rage
I realized the futility
of my feelings once again
is it not enough, this
Love of the friend and
why all this feeling
to the bitter end?

this morning the Stars
spilled rage
Me, I arose from the grave
as Beast........howling
and growling Art making Priest......Mark Coburn

God, does anyone go through this life just feeling okay most of the time? And are they all on really good drugs? And can I get a prescription...

Mark, I like the frustrated feeling you held here. It came out strong.
May I ask you, did you ever live in NH?

I liked this a lot....especially the repeated line, I loved the image and it carried your feelings through the poem well.  Great work!
