Another late night
More birds chirping
More feeling worthless
Worth well, six shots of Bacardi
A beer here, a drag there
What a drag here, slowing down
To my last fear - speak publically rambling
Incoherent politics iced coffee straw wrapper cigarette lunch for pigeons and people who look like birds

If the tears are what wash my heart,
Then every night spent crying
Has been worth all tears.
So one more night spent
With pillow wrapped my face,
Let these salty tears flow and I'm clean.
Inspired by my parents possible divorce, July 24...

Music of moments
Accompanying my solo
Rumbles of noises
Companion to my pain

Sleepless nights
Even when you are asleep
Haunting nightmares
And painful dreams

Lost in the day
Confused at night
Pressuring voices
Clouding my mind

Tired hearts and careless words
Not knowing what is worth
Biting lips and controlling emotions
Looking for the right station

*Yet this gaze of love
Insanely, you would say
So much comfort within a single hold
A touch that consoles my crazy soul

I've spent an alarming amount of time just sitting in a car
while parked in some front yard,
beer in hand,
jamming out to favorite songs.
Confessionalism, really?

...that I can express
poetically,
or pathetically,
or with apathy.
