Battered evenings Poverty blues Hysterical moon Hopeless tears on the stoop of shame Puddles of earth and stones Melting, spilling veins on the postcards of dreams Restless sorrows Hoping for an escape Hold fast to the hope of a ferocious truth A tunnel of a roadside volcanoes Broken bursts of fractures, blood and bones On the windowsills that look to heaven I reach for my amnesia fairies Forever just beyond my reach
