the blade tastes funny
take it back please
if ever I need it
I’ll be sure to ask you
you will be the first to know
the first to hear the songbird sing
it’s not funny anymore
is it?
no, I didn’t think so

the cracked concrete smiles at me
my new friend
1000 feet below me
the wind is strong
towering above
cowering love
the black combat boot
a shade off from new
inches, just inches

in my haste I forgot to say
goodbye
in my dream I heard you scream
a name
but not mine
“praise the lord” she said
when the body floated
back to earth
broken

do we still believe?
are there answers?
I used to believe in a golden age
funny now it’s been ripped away
so much like someone’s soiled laundry
forgotten dreams
never shared
or never believed in
by another

in time
the cracked concrete will be restored
the stains of time
washed away
and the echo will fade
and the wounded
will hurt no more
and the name
will live no more
Peace, Love.
