Poetry For Everyday People

Open House

I always try to see
the light in my darkness,
try to walk away with
a poem, soul victory,
song to give me meaning,
writing in the middle of
hell to get some place
safe, some times not quiet
as dramatic as it sounds,

some times I need to fully
be understood, so I bake
and shake in words, I swallow
liquid feel, run a muck
with ink, hire the stars to
dance, just for you,

hoping you
dig.
