goodbye 6 & 7

falling short of ten years
I won't have to say
happy anniversary
6 and 7 turn into 13
thirteen is not my lucky #
I'll just celebrate quietly
with my appointment
officially declaring me "dead"
wiping out my mistakes

today . . . of all days

so its rise & don't shine
but thats ok
the sun is a buzz killer anyway
but . . . no buzz here
no lighting up with a toast
"to you"
nothing but darkness
and a long road
to recovery

if I ever venture
that way again
I'll leave my thoughts with
the bug shells and spiders
if they will fit inside the hollow
there will be no need
for chopping firewood . . .
blood - soaked pages
burn slowly
