Writing, Ideas, & Stories
i don’t know if i’ll love the same
i don’t know if that’s bad
-i know we will find out
-i know that’s good
pretty sure i’ve never done anything
& today is the first day i drew breath
the night before, the night before
i gathered materials for a brisket
that brisk evening
we took a stroll to the market to get a brisk
iced tea and a cigarette
all of yesterday
in smoke
pray for me
they keep talkin’ on me
keep that mouth away from me.
just a worldy wonder
a monolith
you leavin’ with filth
leavin’ here real high, a –
they said it’s normal to feel behind;
i’m just not used to
chasing myself
chances are
i take a chance
on myself
for the first time;
i can remember the bad bets
they were never on the house
someone else’s
& they went bust
not this time
ill gamble on this pair
i see the demons
lurking
behind every devious
thought;
cursing me
reminding me
you can never out run
yourself
i never worried
just stayed up all night thinking
long Summer evening
i wonder;
three hundred
thoughts plundered
& wondered;
one too many laps
a two time relapse
one of your wonder
-ful traps.
you told me not to worry
about what tomorrow would be like
how we would eat
or how we would pay our bills.
even after you passed;
i always knew
you’d still be looking
over my shoulder
telling me
it would be okay.
i remember
very little;
i loved the way
you carried my memories –
but after a while
i guess
you got tired.
