towards the dusty left end of a basement city the rain washes nothing leaving sin in streaks on the street
i can hear it the cracked dry giggle of a grave i cannot avoid save for nightly smokescreens it turns on a white ribbon smile oh yes oh yes it will wait one more day maybe two knowing i understand very little except for loose stitches and slowing rotting anger though i try
merciful merciless G*D i don't ask for the end of war for the sick to be healed or sunny saturdays in april just a nod and a handshake so i can understand something about something
i throw my hands wide like pigeons to let the rain drown me in cold calculated rythym when finally it fades and what remains is what i have been gifted
Good God, man, you know how to write the demons in our pitiful soul and put them the page, for readers to recognize their own. Excellent, excellent poetry...very uncomfortable to read, but necessary. Please don't give up--I believe in you, if no one else does.
