I looked up
when I was listening
and I saw a stake
pressed up into the ceiling
...
I've read your poems
I've seen your soul
I've seen you when angry
I've seen you when sad
...
I was walking
in a field of tall grass
and you were the lion
stalking your prey
...
Now that I'm 18
I can buy myself cigarettes
and lose all my money
because that's where it went
...
In every single attempt
to reach out and touch life
to reach out and touch love
to reach out and touch reality
...
Smoke filled the air
and also my lungs.
I exhaled my newport
...
I hear an accordian
playing from up the stairs
on the CD player
I recieved as a birthday present.
...
This buzz has cleared my head
of worry and of thought
except of you.
...
From the desk of
a dear man's muse:
Sometimes flowers
