Fire, wind, water, earth— perhaps I’ll be     the element of surprise. No scent of intentions; I broke my nose, sent into a world that watches with   wide eyes. Premature ideas delivered to a man’s dream;             the stillborn still cries; echoing even     after not seeing the light. Often my heart feels low, unruly—      recognizing no boundary, ******* the sacrifice required   To be a man. Sometimes I am a stone, skipping past life · · · · · ·     _1, 2, 3, 4, 5..._ But never six— for by that count,      I begin to sink. Life and its lessons still needs    to polish me, to reach my reach.

Counting to Six
I wake up tasting rust, and call it breakfast. The sun looks guilty, but I still blame the rain. I hate the chairs, the way they wait for me. I hate the air, how it touches without asking. And I hate that I hate like a dog chewing on its own tail, thinking it's a bone, thinking it's a gift.
