this morningrain

the bitter guilt ravaged tears
the whys and how can i's
misspelled, for my satifaction alone
goddamn it! augh! not enuff
to shuffle the powderworn
billet charged wheels of change
longing for relief

the sadness, the madness
the hotness of my skin
fold'd steaming shirt
cradled in fruit oat'd breakfast
to the work and sweat
sweet and bitter mem'ry
a mess, a mess, a pang
we can't forget

the irises on mary's deathbed
the lungshears of amos' breathing
crickets, frogs, cows eloping
in the middle of stormy nights
i've lost my home, my family
not one stands beside me
comfortable in the knowledge
that all things have now pass'd
