once upon a life
the rose of morning
day of the dead upon
my lips
first cigarette,
sunglasses on
life walks by, an
old blind man
with a
cane
porcelain skin
porcelain China
porcelain thoughts
easily shattered by
a disarming
truth:
Ghandi,
Mao,
King,
Idi Amin--
different sides of
the same
human
coin
the devil doesn't say,
"Pardon me,"before
he takes your
soul
and I'll be dammed
if I'll apologize for
how I have
lived my
life
so
screw
you

Never apologize for how you chose to survive, Kitts. Life is an opportunity for experience, to learn from whatever mistakes we deem we would rather not make again.
Good poem.
Good poem.

Dear BK,
Your last stanza is perfection. For me, when someone has felt the instrusive need to comment on how I’ve chosen to do something I’ve first put a hex on them and then thought they’ve way too much time on their hands. Growing older has learned me a few ideas in that when I screw up I usually hope for another opportunity of similar circumstances so I can try and right my wrong. Unless of course I didn’t care...that’s not nice is it? 😉Your write is fierce and I love it. H🌷
