DISMAYED

There are only a few chances,

A few choices, a few moments

A few people, a few paths

That matter.

Hustle kid, hustle!

Save yourself from cancerous time

Save yourself from demons of our breed

There’s much to thieve, there’s enormous greed; that turns us against our creed, so try not to bleed…

Our genesis? I don’t know son;

As per history it’s diabolical:

Pray to some holy father or die rather.

SOME JOKE

Some travesties are meant to be shared. Mum if you’re reading this; don’t worry I don’t do drugs…

Skipped the tidal wave; I let out a whistle, in that moment I knew that my ambitions were too little,

Key to find the treasure; I let slip through my fingers

Friends in the picture they are no more

Ghosts of the past haunt me sore

Drugs of a variety; attract me like a whore

My greatest fear being…

Name

My mother gave me my name, Picked out the gift and bought it But my father wrapped it; Tied it with ribbon, curled the ends, chose the paper; Whispered it to me at night, Tucked it between my quilt and my sheets,  Hid it in between lines of songs he’d sing for me. He slipped my name under my tongue from the day I was born, Let it dissolve and disperse Flowing through my vowel-coated veins To the consonants at my fingertips.

PLUMAGE ON THE STEPS

PLUMAGE ON THE STEPS

It’s amazing how a folded piece of paper inspired me to write this. It’s the same paper as in the image. (more…)
