Poem: footseps in the hallway
crying at midnight
I held her and walked her to sleep
under bridges of time
a handful of explosives
I haven't changed even in the slightest
there's nothing about me of interest
but the skies descend to touch me
I am a creation of the Divine
that made the seasons
for me, one word in the sentence
give me the damaged angels
drifters with nothing on their hands
waster cooler watcher wanderers
suckers singers poor performers
failures in thriving fools in waiting
total losers self-abusers
give me their hands and I'll shake them
my people; my tribe
bad luck veterans
dreamer-creamers thrice denied
and call them my night
sleepy crawly crying fighting emotional baggage-handling wrecks
sinking ships little shits worrier curiouser let me go.
