6/30

wither away in the spring

like pollen drifting on a breeze


there are no ambulances left for you

mend your own stitches - that's what

a real man would do (spartacus, a veteran)


sell your beloved for silver

sell your guts for gold

tame your friend for a penny

kill your mind for a seat in the sky


you will be left behind in the winter

while all the others head out south


but your cleft wings are stitched

with blue and hot strings

(hot and cold; i just want to fly like them)


and your body is composed of

fleshy yellow metals

(don't open your mouth)


so the sky rains upon the earth

when you climb on it

(there's gold falling from the sky!)


who to blame but you

for not killing your mind

like i told you to
