avalanche.

I miss the drunks. The y3lling.

The inhalation of beer and cigarettes

Chased down by ego and godlessness.

 

How many times

hqve I written to this song,

and never heard beauty once?

 

Like the sweet pinch of a grapefruit,

before the sunset of sweat,

the same sunset that hailed warfare for boys.

 

I loved you so much once,

I still do, but you are like mist,

and I am blind.

 

I miss backstabbers, creeps, catfish,

vampires, crows,

an angel.

 

When I was young I would screech down the hill

in my toy truck,

plastic chassis a powerhouse,

canary and howling,

I'd crash into the same cherry tree a million times.

 

Call me Avalanche.

 

Call me Indisputable.

 

Call me the Powerhouse.

 

Call me,

I missed you.
