The color fades from the sky, and
the hardest part is
letting go. Letting the sun set-completely-
I can’t do this.
+
There is an edge to the blade that makes it all the more appealing.
+
We’re disturbed by the quietness of the blood/the way in which it flows.
All these nights bury themselves against our pain.
+
The bitterness in my heart throbs every once in a while.
+
The sun is coming out-and the
body bathes in the light till
there is no light left.
And what do I do? To survive?
What do I do? For you, how is
that possible?
Am I cold, dislodged and
fallen apart?
I’m not sure.

Listening to the Robert Johnson record I got today.
“Best of” record. I am surprised by how much I know
all these songs. And I am again overwhelmed and bathing in his music.
His voice
The emotion behind it.
He doesn’t need a band/never did need one. He’s got it all with his
guitar.
-So Slick
(Delta Blues)

And these thoughts bubble in
my head. all that comes around,
you fade and follow me-into
the disillusioned mind.
+
The Knife that CUTS
the words that cling to
my dying body.
Mouth opens completely.
+
If you are reading this Thank YOU for taking time out of your day to read my writing. I hope you return in the future!
Thank you!
