I dare not blame the 14 Hands
for feelings I have felt
Where midnight and I meet
the moon’s shadow can’t dispel
In daylights saving grace
I justly feel that I have felt
like wicker passed round midnight’s mass
each hand is doleful dealt

I dare not blame the 14 Hands
for feelings I have felt
Where midnight and I meet
the moon’s shadow can’t dispel
In daylights saving grace
I justly feel that I have felt
like wicker passed round midnight’s mass
each hand is doleful dealt
He sang her song of sorrow
Through dawn until tomorrow
And in turn she did borrow
His song sung unto morrow
Look me in my heartache
And tell me there’s a cure
When butterflies were band-aids
Where fact and fiction blur
Speak to me in virtues
The one’s I’m pickled for
When only field’s were diamonds
And playgrounds left you sore
Hold me in your sorrow
With hands so soft and pure
When bedtime meant tomorrow
Was absolutely sure
Hear me as the willows
Send shivers down your spine
When fluff was just for pillows
Where wonder’s in the pine
Sense me in my mourning
For those yet to be fed
When fear meant it was pouring
Where Rover was still red
Send prayers if you still got em
Though mine have long since fled
This well’s filled from the bottom
Where sailboats are led
Remember me tomorrow
For who I was today
And understand my sorrow
Was never yours to save —
For everyone has reasons
The grieving call them brave
Who fought too many seasons
To end up in this grave
Still don’t mistake this sorrow
I’ve borrowed mine today —
Yet listen for tomorrow
What those lost do not say.
Tears of sorrow.
Tears of joy?
I don’t
differentiate
anymore…
When Hemingway writes
coffee
but doesn’t really
write about coffee
I crave it
Taste it
I smell it’s sorrow
And pour a cup
As the morning becomes I
And I the morning’s passing
It sucks
it’s burnt
it’s hard to swallow.
I chew the fat
then choke down
bile.
For now
mouthfuls
of blood and oil.
As I spit flesh
it stinks
of sorrow.
A few more bites
just choke
and swallow.
For what it’s worth
we shot to kill
and did.
