Ruminations 3

When I will I look at my own hands and see a woman’s hands

When will I look at the world and see myself reflected in it

When will the swelling go down 

The swelling of pain inflammatory

The swelling of hearts corroded 


Gotta play by their rules

Rough and dirty

A thin line separates us from the monsters we hunt

Narrative poetic justice 

Mimics the mirrored scenery 

But it tells a story not many often hear

Behind the scenes at the benefit flats are flying

Small victories seem like puppets dangling from a string

Rattlesnakes don’t commit suicide 

Don’t send a postcard from Des Moines

Small Victories 

Are Dangling

From Puppet Strings

All that you need

Is resting

Just beneath your feet

Play by their rules

Lick bleeding wounds

They wont take that from me

Lost In the Sea

Your anchor 

Mimics mirrored scenery
