Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

Twelve-bar.

Kick the dirt off my hat.
Twist the ash off my lips.

This is for hard life.
This is for dry blood.
And cold coffee.

Spurs are just an anachronism.
The paper thin soles
the callouses on your thumbs
the bags under your eyes

That can't be faked.
Those are the blues.
Like hot sunshine
on oilly manacles
witness to gravel and flint chips

grazing the sky
only to hang-
stretch-
and plummet.

Slide. Wheeze. Slide.
It all comes out the same color.
No matter if its bayou or bayside.

Just a bad dream.
Just a bad day being.

Every day.
