My Favorite Mistake

Happy in the Face of Shit

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Born in the Spring
Hallelujah to the Sun
Hello world of Life!
You breathe in me to Sing
Wind and sun and purple storm
Every sky can lift me off
Dance me like in Heaven

—————————–

A burden from the start
Another mouth to feed
Anchors down
Feet on land, head at sea,
The sailor waits it out
His little captives serve on deck
While his big resentment sleeps away
Sinking deep
A life gone bad
A mind gone overboard
And the captives feel at fault

Stealing freedom
From the blame
Finding silence
From the lies
I have many times escaped
The unreality
of the fucked up shit
around me flying
And in my hiding
I have kept some happy safe

Many years
Rose above
But toxins stowed
Embedded in my cells
Hell oh world of Death
Slither in me strangling
Gravity, balance, Ability
Your goal relentless
Strip me naked
Wear me down
To bones and begging

Shove your face
Of shit and ugly
Up against my glass
I will bathe in sunlight
Overflowing from my cache
Of truth and peace and happy
And you one day
Will fall away

What Some May See

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

I am so very far from perfect.
It is the mistakes that make up my life.
It is a spider’s web, rather than a solid path.
Aiden is the sunlight on me.

I needed to get out of here that day
when the tempest boiled,
but escape is no longer possible
in this state of body.
This body keeps me.

I endured my head exploding.
The thunder echoed, the rains rushed out.
I screamed as I spun, wringing dead my hope.
I threw my legs, one by one,
toward the nearest shelter,
safe and distant unconsciousness.
