Now is not a time for frivolous, trivial journals
About days and hours and minutes
And the events they have touched,
The things boiling, lively
Within them.
This is not a journal for things,
Short-lived sighs of our material world;
The rushing, rushing by of life,
But without the nostalgia of a train
Ride separating lovers
Two toiling tracks at a time–
Bolt– Track
Or, even the allure of a subway car,
Gliding through its veins beneath
Tarred skin, glass hair and satellite eyes.
The train disappears,
Growling itself to sleep in its tunnels,
Leaving the body on the tracks,
Few feet shy of the
Commandment line screaming, begging
You, “DO NOT CROSS”
Yes, you’ve got it now,
The experience, the things must be made,
Forged by the broken and bruised hands
Of the ****** and the lost into thoughts
So that the body swept away and coddled in the man-made night
May learn,
Even if infinity has passed,
It cannot be too late or the saints would be out of a job and
The earth drained
Of all redemption.

If it was 10 degrees warmer
I would take a midnight walk
To the corners of the city
And weep silently
If it was 5 degrees warmer
I would take a midnight run
To the edge of town
And profess my want of your touch
If it was 5 degrees colder
My legs would buckle
And my I would crumble down
From my beating heart
But this is the temperature I know
So I don't walk to ease my fears
I don't run to greet your lovely face
And I don't fall under the weight of my world
Instead I keep true to home and stay
On the edge of emotion
Swallowing my tears
Waiting for something to topple over
