Break A Wish Bone Poem by Dorsey Baker

Break A Wish Bone



The candle is burning
but the light
is very dim
the window is wide open
you are standing naked
and someone
seems to be
peeping in
its not your fault
that you wear no disguise
because if you
have no wisdom
you cannot be wise
there is no room
for your illusions
your pity or your pride
you've still got your guns
but you have given
all your bullets
to the other side!
