Sunt prostul lui Piaf, Șad pe marmura neagră Și nu-mi plac străinii Care vin doar pentru Morrison.

La Guardia
I will not leave anything So mean as a promise to you. Nor with trifles, stand trembling And suffer penance Below your bastion box. But I am now hard-put And sweet meats the dearer to me for it. The lamps in the parlour are doused; She has emptied them of gas-- Critical, unforgiving crone! And left me alone in the house. Does she mean this be for good? She has called me “disgraced” And thinks that her going Will “purge this taint” From my soul. But I shall go on as I have, Doing the right things At the wrong time, As is my genius, Until the chloral takes me, You forgive me, Or night falls.

Lily’s Dream
Listen to the silence It's louder than before A Lion now has left us We no longer hear his roar A poet of the people His voice a summer storm The lion now is silenced Now silence is the norm Read the words he's written Listen to the voice The lion has entrapped you You do not have a choice We were in his story He touched us to our core Now, the lion...he is silenced And Bart Wolffe will roar no more

A Lion Silenced (for Bart Wolffe RIP)
A man walks home from his job Part-time at two different places To feed his child and give shelter With his child's mother in place This man would live life daily as Best as he could like any other Marijuana smoke helps dull pain And heartache from another Job and opportunity lost, cause Of simple mistakes avoidable Had he been more responsible As the day draws to a close Celebrations begin for a year A year of renewal and promises To improve, to provide, to guide In his eyes he sees the fiery day Give in to an unforgiving night Fearful of taking an innocent life or Having his life taken in an instant He put faith in a train to plot A direct course for the party Returning home in the morning To his little daughter and lover Perhaps too much fun was had A little much drink in plastic cup Fights broke out in the live night Of which friends of him were apart Involving him in old hood beef Fists met flesh but not bullet For skin hadn't been torn by metal Leaving human crimson along The roadside beltway or floor This was a rivalry among men Whom lived without abandon And strived for a daily dime Men of the law would intervene As is requisite of such actions But reactions are destructive Conducive to leaving lines And plenty body bag designs All aligned with ***** tiles The tile that his stomach lies As the kneecaps dig into him Of a grown man with a life, wife, And child in the womb of her Similar to the man beneath him But he reaches towards his belt As his brother struggles below Black like the early morning Consuming the two of them The fruits are veiled in this station Fruits of deep seeded hate and Inaction in the face of atrocities: Glaring and gazing steadily The shot rang out... One. Light. Shines. As. The. Bullet. Flies. And. Burns. Flesh. YOU SHOT ME! ... Echoes in the distance Internal organs are dying Breathes are more labored His daughter and lover Would find 7 hours later That they would be left In the distance that took him An imperfect man slain In an imperfect world.

Echoes in the Distance
