They're dragging the ground.
Not all its CRACKed up to be
Pull up your pants kid!
A plumber you are not.

Where are my t-shirts?
Lucy wearing them to bed
Life has changed again.
It starts all over again with grand daughter Lucy 5. She does look cute.

bones
On some days
even quiet days
my only chance
of momentary peace
is noise so loud
I cant hear any more
thought

On those days
in that moment
that deafeningly peaceful moment
my head pounds
much less
than it pounds
in any silence
Ive ever known.

Raven
Here, take my bag of bones and burn them
Make me disappear
Without a trace
Of my existence
You won't miss me when I'm gone
Just admit it
I'm not wrong
Bury me alive
So I can live in darkness
Just for a little while
Until my lungs fill up with blackness
And my cuts are sealed with dirt
And all I'll see is darkness
No more living in hurt
And they say and do things
That slide off my shoulder
But day after day
Those things become boulders
That block my path
from moving forward
So I must break away
Run away
Stay away
And hopefully never return
