never enough

just the way the milky-way
pours substance from dreams

destitute hands with calloused palms
fight communication with crooked fingers that ache

rush awhile they are racked with pain and unbelief
and respond to the swirl of never enough

hands close round one instant in time
this work has no reason or rhyme

and dark angels seem to flutter like ornaments of the night
no reams sprint from this poets pen

another pile of papers
gnash your teeth for each mia Culpa

these looming gray twisted visions as if ripe fruit
here to see they are developed from the decline

toil will not vanish but for labored breathe
and will not take another ass picker’s opulence

this poet is on his ass and pleads with the firmament
for a termination to their lusty commands

Author's Notes/Comments:

but i'm getting a little too old for this graveyard gig

wish somebody would adopt me
hehehehe
