Are you tired?
Weary to the bone?
Is life hard
For you and your loved ones?
Of course it is
Nature of the beast
But don’t worry ‘bout a thing
Cuz I got what you need
Depression
Nothing is there
It’s not open to interpretation
That vacuum in your heart
It is real
That last, best hope is
Gone
Eyes Wide
I sat
by my father’s side
As he died
surprise
In his eyes
Lids wide
As he realized
Daughter of the Sun (excerpt)
fleeting sounds
tease hope
water over rocks
possible escapes
scroll through the mind
She turns
towards
the liquid promise
running
hoping
desperate for escape
Well Regulated
Two men in the street
Angry over slight perceived
Shout and scream
Faces red
Necks big
Throbbing veins in foreheads
Pounding the drumbeat
Cold iron in hot hands appear
