Beware the desperate man
though he longs for love
keep in mind he only needs
a friend. And understand
the desperate woman
though pain in her virtue
there’s much strength
in her hand. So when at
the Devil’s Crossroads
wind whipped bodies bare
man and woman tremble
with nothing left to fear.
We spoke a lot out there about how different folks live their lives,
about the idea of success and what it really means to feel comfortable in circumstance,
about family and virtue,
giving back and taking more consciously.
We say the things up there
on the mountaintop,
which are hard to say among the crowds and noise of the working world’s downturned head,
but no less we come back down renewed.
Every thought is vital, so while I find myself
on the verge of another vital breakdown,
at least this time I’m in control,
creatively speaking,
so that’s got to count for something.
If not, I’ll be pushing daisies by morning,
or at least I’ll be a mourning dove, lying in their virtue.
