Present Tents

Deep in the pocket of the day
I found a quiet place
Free from my eight-bar loop of mistakes
No confrontation can take it away
I lost everything
But here I am and I’m feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am
A knife in the fire
There are no memories I would keep
Save for these last few days
No more resentments, fear or distrust
The light hasn’t died
But it has changed
I lost everything
But here I am and I’m feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am
A knife in the fire
A jovial, heavy jawed, red face
Some grey in his close-trimmed hair
Like it or not he came to me
Like it or not he is always around
A grip of vicious compassion
A kiss of unconditional acceptance
No one can take him away
He’s more than a passenger now
He’s my paradise

History is Everyone’s Fuck
You disguised your intentions and it bought you time
Forming tactics in your mind
Questioned direction so you invested in mine
Always watching from behind
Always angles in your eyes
Your lack of discretion is what made your bed
Kissing up to move ahead
I applaud your ambition but let it also be said
I’ll applaud when you’re dead
(It’s the ones we love that we hurt the most)
Gifted…
A talent for creation and rage
Never content with what you’ve made
A perpetuating feeling of shame
Given the victims you’ve collected it’s plain
That you are morally insane
You are predatory, selfish and vain
Gentle and patient
Affectatious
You come
Threading a flower through the gun
While your other hand erases the sun
Gentrification
Smallpox blankets
You’ve won
Witness the horror you’ve become
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to love
Someone other than yourself
