so long my beloved

someone sober will worry about things going badly

I walked into the room
to find you but you were not
there, instead you left me
this note that said, "I told them
they might find you here looking
for me."

there is
no refuge from
the all knowing sun
and yet unwritten skies might fall before
it does warm a soul
long frozen by desire unthwarted
and endlessly fed.

Speak a new language
so that the world
will be a new world.
Rumi

Grace Free

Money talks
loudly in the hall
someone's set the playhouse on fire

sparks fly but jesusfukkinchrist

Money walks
on water singing all apologies
the dark wood burns, the uncaged
flee but money shrugs,
wine for water ain't a bad deal

Money signs
her check with a smiley face, diamonds for eyes
asphalt dreams blacking the soles of her rubber-soul
feet but no worries,

money's worth herself in gold, Money's
always feelin' good.

leaving

between two griefs, a tree

have you found your refuge yet?
