i see

everything is not what i want
i want specific vistas
red suns in the morning
blue sky in the evening

stilted hopes meander on clouds of pot smoke
shake the dice take a chance
coke wont help you now
the dance is long gone over.

still i breathe
my chest hair heaves
i see myself as a clown
flipping upside down

walk me home on silent nights
stay with me a while
tell me your simple day
or make it complex if you want

stay with me
look at me
breath me in
commit a sin

wad up a piece of paper
in your strongest grip
let it loose on the table
walk away

down a dirt path that leads to the river
i hope to recoup my liver
play mumbly peg with the bank man
sharpen my knife on my bare chin

i win this round
you come unwound
you cry the black wind howl
i see
