Something daunts me about a man that can come across a homeless Without sharing a dime
I gave half And guilt tickles my fingers
What does half a bridge do For a body's need to cross waters
As I hold this bitter cup of coffee In my still aching fingers I wish I could spit it out and fill my brain with it
I sweep back to the corner Of wrinkled blue hands Holding last ounces of boarded hope But only coldness lingers here
Kneeling down I skip breaths in seek of God's forgiveness And as I whisper words I promise to next give my all And while were at it take my shoes Β Β And the golden watch here on my dry ***** wrist For we all know it belongs on a wall Take my book- and here's this poem So that maybe our shrunken World Isnt so selfish afterall
