Sorrowing Hour


“No darker place than our thoughts, the midnight of the mind” – Dean Koontz

 

H awk moon hangs heavy
in the damp night sky

bulbous moist orb
punches
through a cold chromium fog

wet slivers of cloud
ooze themselves
across its face
breathing

it’s midnight
the sorrowing hour


laying bare your soul
in frail introspection

in grief of secrets

Goin’ Nowhere


…like a true nature’s child, I was born to be wild…

 

Left on a
moonless night
caddy shine’n bright
wad’a dolla’s in my hand
visions of the promised land
ruined my caddy — didn’t win
lost more than a little skin
paint n’patience worn thin

tough times came in bunches
just kept roll’n with the punches
