The House
Last December
I let go of hope
What is hope, but fear
In disguise?
A rusty swing tied to the
Branch of deception
in my own
Back
Yard
Vicious
Relentless
I too abandoned
those shitty houses
And littered streets
that never held my hand
Under broken
Neighborhood lamps
I paint myself,
into a mural..
An emancipated doorway
Renovating the dry walls
Of my wandering illusions
I
Am
Pleased
Content with my disease
and desire
My feet firm and cracking
This empty foundation
Wont be long til I
change our tomb linens
These dirty crayon stained
Fingers embracing
the crimson bookshelf of my soul
We burned December down
