Drowning in simple screams.
by Marcus Cheney
This is what happens with a heart built to break
every chance you take
you end up with shards of glass
till its hard to pass
a single breath from lungs to mouth
i ventured down south
for some salvation
found myself drunk and a mental patient
impatient i left when i felt adjacent
to all congruences
into the ideals of improvements
improvisational midnight movements
till the sky whispers
it’s ok, I’ll take you soon
The moon hangs strangely optical
with the the suns to far away to touch
you call them stars
Finding nothing at the bottom of a glass
in a Savannah Bar
i inched back north
far away from the horrors of harlots
save me, Charlotte
from my self and suffering
above all things
i miss you most
with a glass of milk
and a piece of toast
where i once made love
instead of breakfast
i eat right and sleep write now
and feed these words later
to the sheep to meek to speak
in there own voice
so borrow mine
see what you find
in the soul
of another man’s shoe.
