BEGGAR'S KNIFE

 

Coffee in

      PM hours

         lose sleep

    to beggar’s knife

         & belligerence

 

no one takes

                the time

                       to see

thru my blood shot eyes

              all the horrors

 

   take the time

        feel the edge

     of the blade

          as it precisely

               makes incisions

           in my flesh

 

the blood of a poet:

        caffeine & alcohol

                fill the heart

          with verve

    & passionate fury

 

       & if I ain’t

            lost you yet-- 

     well rest assured

                 I’m still

         working on it
