I have no need to label you
tie a leash 'round your neck
nor go buy superglue
to join us at the hip
I have no need
to nail you to a cross

I have no desire to be held
accountable for your despair
nor be found guilty
for your conflicts
no nada desire
to be nailed to a cross

I have no intention
of being held hostage
none whatsoever urge
to catch you red-handed
tying my name tag
around your fingers, wrists
miscellaneous appendages

There's no bone
left in my body
that wants anything to do
with that nonsense
that ****'s hazardous
to your health

It's enough for me
to watch your sun
rise over my ocean
enough to
read your love notes
to the light of our flame
enough to watch our smoke
dance and curl skyward
From my collection Bits And Pieces/Slamming on the Hollywood Freeway @ amazon books
