I buried my wishes
deep in the crossroads
sailin' signs
for 'Ol Scratch.
Thunder rung
White Lightning
lash and signature.

My hell is wanting
you back so bad
but knowing your return
would kill my ass
over and over again.

Ball and chains
drag along
weighing pure hearts.
To escape any dungeon
threatens
placement to another.
Hell's
never finding peace.

Two wretched weeks
since you took
your clothes,
your books,
your dog,
my dreams
to your mother's
house in hell.

can you hear the chain gang
sing blind Willie
damn, they gots deep lungs
but not much to breathe about

I've still got enough
breath in my lungs
to whisper sweet
somethings to myself
in the deep
suck of night.

Dogs howl
missing their master.
Too weak yet I call to Blue,
"leave hell's trail upon ebony way"
woodsheds calling.

good riddance to bad weeks
angry speaks and cold hearts
hello my sunshine
its time for some mischief  
bottoms up

Bless you, friends.
A blessing not born
in church incense
but of a poet's faith.
Time to get some Irish up.

A jig
he could do
I've seen it true.
The sage burnt
while fires still yearn.
Songs will be borne.

And the music
lifts our souls
and we dance
with the fearlessness
of children awakening
to the promise
of tomorrow.

promise of tomorrows
starts with a bombed out shelter,
bottle of Bushmills
and somewhere in-between there’s a treehouse,
ape, and Jane

Why is it
every damn time I do
my Tarzan on the vine
thing I swing
into a fucking tree.

George
Its just the way it goes.
These attachments hanging about
haven't sympathy
for our kind.
Torture is some amusement.

vines are notoriously tricky
if you don't take account
that they grow from the ground
and not from the branches ;)
