Jonny Brackney Poems

we lay together
in silence,
marvelously entwined.
i watch her as she sleeps,
...

last night
i watched my brother
with some girls
in the water.
...

his eyes find a picture
of an angel
with no wings.
he fills his head
...

when I was a boy,
sleep came with ease.
my limbs would fall softly
swelling with comfort
...

you hold on tight
to save your life
it burns your hands as sacrifice.
live through your kids,
...

2 figures
drag me
through the gates
following something
...

when i was just
a little boy
i learned to
point my finger
...

i have no car,
i have no apartment,
still i swindle the girls
somehow.
...

screeching along
in a dirty mini-van.
surrounded by smoke
and music,
...

run around
these rosy cheeks.
notebook full
of poesies.-
