Discombobulated Quietly Quieted Slightly Slighted

a Paratrooper sky-dived into walls of
my fuckin’ stupidity
Blinded, impaled by my own kindness
I attempted to suture my sleeves
stitch up the tears causing my face to
be eternally wet

I’ve tasted no bitter herbs
eaten no night-shaded taters
round three I think it is
uncovers no pain
only distant memories of bliss
tearful laughter
soulful wonderment

Stretching arms up to the universe
crying (not that type) THANK YOU
FUCKING thank You,
In Gratitude
For the opportunity
For the experience
For the ever brief moment where
I breathed
and
found happiness

I will not cower under the fall of
bombs of love
meant
or accident
from the bomber I sought to fly
within, enveloped
In the sky

thank You
for the
terse
Good-Bye
