Once in every
White pale moon

There is that moment of silent
Whispering with woeful *******

Too drunk for words when
She came around trying to
Read everything I owned

"I said there ain't nothing here you need
And there ain't no heart either."

"You say you know what you say, but
I see that your sight is hazy with pain."

Shaking just like
I came
In

I got something for
Everybody except my
Good uncle Bobby Jim

And that old awful woman
With the ten thousand dollar grin

Leaves melt
In the Autumn
Weather

Rain pelts
In the Spring
Like a summer ain't
Never going to begin

I been crying
Too long

I been alone
And down

There is something
Wrong with me
And I can't seem to find
Where the answer
Hides or is beneath

Silhouetted sinews waver
In the sun baked desert streets

Each bullet casing experiments
After it has fired into the heat

A tale of two lover's crossed
Shows its face once more

Though the time is modern
The heart still holds true to scorn

When was that late hour
When our love was not in debate?

In question, we see the rise and fall
Of ideas birthed and raised to a crawl

Seeing the diamond atop ye' infants head
Christening that humanities hope is not dead

Tiniest acorn who
Plants their new seed
The weather has shifted
I still trust I can believe
