In a Bucket
What have I brought ..?
Havoc
Love...
carried in a bucket
Cancered by holes
And spilled along my path
Squeaky handle
Rusted parts
My shoulders shirking my burden
And the responsibility
With stars in my eyes I had asked:
Where should we go to dinner?
Do you like my dress?
What color are my eyes...
right this very second?
Would you get a load of me and this fucking twinkle!
It was so bright he could not stand the view.
Along the path:
A scenic overlook
Down below it ...
way down nestled prettily amongst tall Oak
And pale Sycamore
A brown river I had once daintily dipped my toes in,
in front of him..
And had cannonballed in naked
While hollering like a banshee
Behind him
It is unfortunate he did not witness the show...
so grand
it had uprooted the rookery
So grand ..
Even today the bird stands
Talk smoke and grey
On watch
And hoping to catch it again
Such were the stars in my eyes...
such were the stars in my eyes.
Blue and wetted vision occurred
Morning after morning
As I woke to his posture looming
Over my sleepy face
And his remark:
You look so beautiful,
So peaceful
But the look on his face.....
Another hole in the bucket.
My load lighter,
My boots muddied
It has been, such a long time since him.
