Need less
needless to say
i need less to say
because my breath cannot
afford what i project to space
as i sketch and trace
all my yesterdays
and stuff my entire world
into just a phrase
justified
inside my pressured ways
I covered enough to hide
most of my precious face
all except the eyes
Then I am gone and I have left no trace
but the lungs i leave gasping
trying to respirate

They say the first sign of enlightenment is a diminishing desire
to speak anymore than necessary. Good write, David.

Thank you, i don't know about enlightenment, but I am aware of many things that I have no Idea why or where I have seen or heard them.
