Sickness begone! Cast away thy shackles
Remove my heart from thy clammy grasp
Take thine aches and send them on
Withdraw thy taint, thy bitter taste,
The blunted needle from my temple.
Away,
Morning
Time it is to hang the light
To break the fast, to take the step
Time it is to loose the latch
To breathe the air, to find the path
Time it
Weird
Weird is not a good place to start
Invoking fear, and that which keeps us apart
So, cloaking our true selves
Pretending to be smart
Choking on our thoughts and what lies
A gentle mist of rain falls
No bird song, only breeze
Fragile, moist, the moss calls
Takes its moment
Glistens in the trees
Clammy warmth, from sky to soil
Damp salve against the
Write of what you know, they said.
So I wrote
Of the voices
In my head.
