Down and away
separate and dancing
for no reason
the whale smiled
to the man
crotchety and old suffering
he saw like a child
and was reminded
to be amazed
up over the breaks
in the fence
of the american playground
I survived
being lit on fire
stabbed
humiliated and spit-on
and now after years
and tears
and money over the damn
I forgot
and forgive the
water blue sky and blood
there's far worse now anyway
in this demon haunted strip line
bullets and videos parade abject debasement
evil pushed as normal
cruelty for the buzz
I am glad I am halfway done with this life
Bells ring in the empty sky
and lifes labor can birth you out
flowers for children, bare feet in the sand
I know this moment holds forever and
the gift you posses like a hawk
after death
is a merry-go-round
and the sound of your forgotten laughter
is still alive
in the hidden palace
nearby
