At 11:05 the torrent came,
its current tainted,
its waters shamed

At 11:06 direction changed,
intention drowning
—redemption stained

Well
this isn't getting the grass cut
but
it's a lovely way to spend Sunday.

I have spent lots of Sundays,
at times
I wish I had saved a few
wish
I had spent more of them
with you.

Friends, foes
and
septagons
please
afford me a word
this is the truth
yet to others
absurd
As
Freedom owns no skin
Freedom owns no land

this simple message
with the racist
dimension
on the oval called the third.
Life when it’s tragic
a forced similarity
Spreading like water
—flooding the plain

I  put your vision
in an empty chair
trying to make peace
when you have gone

Instead I cry to George Jones
The vibe of you makes me melt
But not so I can sleep
Puddle of emotions
Cannot be explained
You let me inhale
A trace of that vibe
And it's all I need
Just knowing you are there
Don’t play
with the real people
in your life
they really are
rare
