My Mojo Light- Blues Poem #12

My days and nights
  death in between
  trouble in front-behind

The devil hijacking my
  fondest dream
  trouble in front-behind

She said she loved me
  then said it twice
  trouble in front-behind

The day I got fired
  she turned to ice
  trouble in front-behind

I pass out stoned
  and wake up hard
  trouble in front-behind

With time my warden
  and sentence scarred
  trouble in front-behind

My children's names
  now others call
  trouble in front-behind

The doctor warns…
  “Not one more fall”
  trouble in front-behind

Excuses inked
  across my chest
  trouble in front-behind

The good got better
  but the worst got best
  trouble in front-behind

My eyes stay swollen
  my mojo light
  trouble in front-behind

The river rolling
  the falls in sight
  trouble in front-behind

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)
