These sins are mine I have to live with

Although my sins are forgiven

My thoughts are clear

And I’m at peace

Although my crime remains with me

I served my time

I’ve served it well

I’ve gained piece of mind

And peace with self

Today’s the day

                 I signed my life away.

And on the pixelated line

                The world began to decline

Heart made of china

Can break under pressure

It smashes on impact

Gets crushed underfoot

Heart made of glass

Can be glued back together

But never will be

As strong as it should.

Skin made of paper

Is fragile and thin

In tears when you touch it

No barrier to pain

And when

The words write themselves and I am left to quake

for the trembling reality that truth can leave in it's

I last knew of you as an enemy

   A hater of my life

Your family was all f*#^ed up

   More dysfunctional than mine

 

Your brother was a racist

   Your mom a drunken whore

Violence and rape existed for you

   White trash forever more.

He suffered

He wept

And fell to his knees

It had been the only truth

He had known and now

We set fire to bridges

Watch them crumble in the water

We sever ties we thought secure

Ties that will not mend

Then we take a step take a breath and do it all again.


We rush into decisions

We look before we leap

We create our own damage

And we damage

I don’t care 
What others think about you 
You are my strength 
You are my only true friend 
My tear 
My dear 
My secret company 
I remember 
You walked with me through airport security 
You flew with me in the airbus 
When I was alone by myself 
Leaving my land and loved ones

The lifeblood of the world

from the heavens falls—

The very spirit of the earth

breathes around us

into us.


Hear it whisper in the night—

A chorus of haunting voices

beckoning.

Beckoning.


Feel the soft touch on your skin

delicate as a lover’s caress.

Drink it in like
