Here's to you, Mattie

For Matt Fisher

a sonnet in solidarity

The works of my hands will never endure
The words of my mouth are even less sure
Because my disease is one with no cure

So all I can do is share it with you
Just you and me and our mortality

And damn it here I am smoking again
Trying to burn off existential pain
I guess but what a mess we both are in!

So baby maybe I just choose to sin
A little to stay whole and save my soul

Brother in dusk down here waiting for dawn
Homeboy in heartbreak as we reach for hope
Hang on with me for awhile as we grope
For some light until our darkness is gone

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
