some new, some old, some sketchy, some rough, real?
November 5, 2007
You will find in me
A delicate dichotomy.
We’re all sick and broken,
So we eat the words that You’ve spoken.
There’s nothing to ignore,
so let’s not dwell in denial.
Another night that I feel,
A little out of place.
Where is the secret to be
Content in this space?
Yes, I do the things I want
and I keep up my pace
But where I am going
There is no settlement.
Desirous of the Good things, the Good
places, sounds, and discoveries.
Envy has slipped into my mouth,
Another world’s country, in the streets
Where dirt meets the smile, and
Children do the teaching. They are the professors.
Prophecy knows innocence there/and the mud knows Life.
I feel a melancholic gladness towards you.
You peregrine after the Heart. Free in the air…
A heart of cowardice, a wish to go, but
I’m here at bay, losing count of the days.
