....



Things were oddly peculiar,
Key in the lock-
Half turned to open or to trap the scream. 

She left nothing of the former life-
Only shoes and tattered bedspread things
Where her dreams tore their fingers
Searching the mended mother holes

Keep quiet. 

You'll wake the neighbors with the
Sound of your beat less hearts 
But it may get lost in the sonic 
Noise of bustling aspirations
The car has been warmed up 
For some time but
It was never easy to go
Ego.

  2. That God damn ego can't keep quiet to save it's life. That may not make sense to you and that's ok. I feel that if not today, then some day soon you will.

    1. Nope, I definitely do. Ego is a funny thing because it swings to extreme confidence and extreme doubt and both are a hindrance.

  4. Going is always the hardest thing. Making plans is easy.
