Night waits like a phantom body alone Images crouching writing shadowing themselves In a room of their own Ashtray black with ashes Come to surround me, tearing me to shreds Breaking into pieces, wounding paths Not one emotion will surrender this wrath Riding a liberated universe simple My vision will not be rising with tombs Or a gloomy macabre appetite Desolate, with wheat fields of the imposed I will dwell in the light of work Planting flowered daylight sewn Awakening, squinting…stumbling I will fly with one wing, remembering Listening for a friendly chorus Suffocate the rogue, with his very own handcuffs He will not trod my hungry eyes With foul laundry casings, blackened skies I will not live in a bottle with smog But leap with the boundless mobs Human arms wrap around one another No matter the weather Without speculation, fear Pulling us forward and forever near Walk with the starving Bear heavy burdens weight Like a pack mule on the edge Unpredictable is Theology Immense What is it that temps us to walk with a malnourished step? That we would insist on trading the hearts of our friends? Roses are harvesting cane…cities springing promises I will be split by bolts like a tree, rather then shed one moment to parched hypocrisy I am inconsequential...and so limited, so small God be my guide in spite of it all.... |
