one some dark morning,
this house was washed away.
black water ruins, but
the stone steps remain.
she slashed her face to
ribbons on the branches.
she’s running, frayed
from mental avalanches.
trees seem to repeat with
the ground beneath her feet.
she jumps the same hoops.
the wood’s in a loop, &
her whole world’s only here,
trapped within the static fear.
sing hallelujah.
we hardly knew you.
she hears the hounds
abounding at her ankles.
she runs, astounded
by their barks & rankles.
i caught but a flicker,
just enough to see.
i tried to be quicker,
but it found me.

burnin'

there’s a candle a’burning
in an attic upstairs, where
truth’s still an orphan
that no one takes care.
it gets so damn lonesome.
we’re one in the same.
the ghosts of the roaches
take roost in my mind,
& i crawl thru the floorboards
to make up for time, but
i can’t find the scoreboard.
i’m losing the game.
they take me out back to
the barnyard to die.
i don’t beg. i don’t plead.
i don’t even ask why.
as i taste the shotgun,
i can’t shake the blame.
where’s the fire?
show me the flame.
