Tom Yarborough Poems

Liberal Christian

I know I am an outcast for the liberal way I think
I know that some exclude me for making such a stink
...

Bloated decomposition floats in mucky spring
Fetor nauseates as enemy passes
Black pajamas adrenaline usually bring
Propels safe sail with binary gases
...

Last night I dreamt I died and went into the light
And despite the fact I tried was forced to watch this sight
Movies of each act that I performed on earth
They recorded every fact that I had done since birth
...

I found a dusty box today
Feelings stirred that were hidden away
Down behind some unread book
I picked it up, my fingers shook
...
