I pray my holy rosary
a whispered treasury
sincere convictions
the devils' evictions
I use my mother's beads
Catholic's sacred seeds.
I'm in lost memories fear.
My already played out acts,
more pieces gone each year.
My old brain missing facts.

Find a word a guessing game
I've forgot everybody's' name.
Nothing ever seems the same.
Strangers in a picture frame.
Destroy my ears and eyes
cut my tongue in quiet cries
I'm a scarecrow of straw.
A seer who will see it all
the future better or worse
give it a blessing or curse
I live forever after death
stealing livings' breath.
Don't the sun look angry in her skies
ugly politicians feeding death's flies
lying in the foul stench of their lies
all shrouded in state funeral disguise.
I dismounted the lover
  tamed beneath my thigh,
  abandoned I Do 'til Death,
  let my kids be free as I.
  ****** kept me in a spectrum.
  I fell in love in bars at night
  and ****** our love to death and
  never minds in morning's light.
Hookers and runaways
god we love strangers
brothers and sisters
embracing our dangers.

We sell ourselves out
**** and fancy dinner.
I buy lottery tickets.
I am never the winner.

Bring home leftovers
for the howling pack
a fight for my bones
for a midnight snack.
I see words as I see tools
neither touched by fools
lose a finger or a rhyme
it happens all the time
forget to measure twice
sonnet is a cheap device
don't dare to plagiarize
house of cards capsize.
