The world turned round
To watch you die alone
In your crisp luxury penthouse,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
And now, my final act.
Children died on their cold cots,
Its a killer,
A real showstopper.
Hostages cried over gun barrels,
The Greatest Show on Earth.
Politicians lied with slick, forked tongues,
Hold your applause,
Until the end when I wont hear it.
Stiff Russia tied into an anarchist knot.
Give a standing ovation when I dont bow.

Existence inverted, but at least the world saw

(I'm) unfit
a constant
tongue slip
tied to
tight grip
cut to quick
too easily

your selfsung soft songs
celebrating solitude
prevent the quiet press
of comfort pulled close
(of perfect form & function)
instead I pace
and place love letters
in each & every word
an all too oft-
uttered apology
framed by all
the flaws in me
petitioning for patience
and time to prove
a chance
(and sure
I'm sure
we're worth it
I'm) unfit
unfiltered
but always
unconditional
don't leave
unconvinced
there's beauty
between us
still

with old hair and powder made from crushed seashells
sips swamp water from the mouth of the man with a flat Crow nose
and he culls her hair with hands, not his alone,
turning her neck into a cornstalk leaning,
whispering "Bia, Bia".
He tells the other one, in stockings rolled to her ankles,
that the Whip-poor-will was out last night halving babies
from moonstones, into the dirt they come from.
And yes, he saw the fox swallowing
up the road with scatterpaws,
a fishing
"I am a wandering stranger, lost and all alone. I am a million miles away.
I know you're waiting for me to come home again, but I am searching for an answer.....
please try to understand."
-Lionel Ritchie
I am gone
searching for truth and reason
gone forever
to those who identified with my words
or I, the man,
I have felt your love and kindness
and I ask for your forgiveness for leaving so abruptly.
