Does it ever get easier?
Any
Respite
From anger
From cancerous
Tear
Does it ever shift
Or
Drift
A w a y
Ill vexations
Ahh’
The greyin’ cold
I dwell not upon the theory
For to wit’
Would ’come unhinged
Unbearable to pair
Not so much
Un
Yoked
Less fair
Un
Fettered
This old shame
Sugared… as of Cain
Carried ’round
A’ weighted
Stone
Disturbingly comforting
Safe
Pick
Pocketing
Of
Breast
Ink
Spilled
L i c k i n g
T’ dwell upon the cross
At once heavy
Gushing
Sea
Saw
Weight becoming STOP.
LOSS
Shifting
At some secret point-less
Churning most bearable
Almost
’ Badge of honour
Drowning
’Most
Persuaded not
About to cease
From creasing
Home
Coming
Lifted from ’ start
Effort unto breathing
Carrying ’thin the hand
Likened keys

Fam’lie

Times I forget I’m unfitting
’Las, placing hand w’thin
Emerging… stained
I remember
Trembling
Oh’
For there it lies
As
’ Old familiar song
Gut-wrenching
Norwegian
Lawn
Ah’
Listen once more as ’ tables turn vinyl
Cry
For sweet melody sung by the choir
Loathing how naive to seed
Oh’
It’s not that you love
Let’s
Be real
Let’s not
Steel
Ourselves
Let us knot
Steal from inner child kneeling
For searing of mem’ries
Long since been
Sealed
Oh to feel
Ohh to feel
Ohhh to feel
Ohhhh to feel
If…
Only this once
Have anyone
Kill
Me
Oh’

God’s
Numbing
’Ache
Unforgiveness
Pray…
