To The Streets We Rise

Welcome back, you forgetful sky
Smiling with the jagged pine teeth.
Do not whisper secrets in tongues
That only prowling wolves reply to,
Those languages fade into the dusk.
If you look out across the plain,
The backdrop as a skinned bear's back,
Men move like the thickest lice.
What is the importance of my bad day?
Does a fox worry of the sounding of a gun?
Why must i profane to the sound of a late alarm?
Good morning Sun, just a minute more.

young blood, young blood, critique from you makes my heart grow fonder of the poetry scene, an endless world since the last we've spoke, however your still dressed and your writings so unclean. theres something sexy about the way you write, the way you think, yet theres no love, theres no romance. i think you've got some stories to tell...i think you know what i mean. NICE WRITE
