Sun picks out pale warblers on willow and painted ladies pausing on perches
Before pairing clumsily and padding on the breeze
Wrapped in Earth's diurnal course with rocks, and stones, and trees
Ravaged as we are some day by some sort of disease
To the one new young friend we have:
Almost inaudible sounds come through like sirens to your ears. You have to watch yourself if you want to be taken seriously. You are always showing your age
To one of the many people I regret not showing more attention to:
I am not the trained health specialist with the beautiful dark skin. I'm simply the friend you once had, Simon, come to see the state that you're in
If you can't be forgiving then you can't be my friend. We drink 'til we're drunk and we walk 'til we bend
My love is something that comes with no question, but you insist on it's dissection
My love is a stone that has known no attrition
Have been left with nothing but blanks of uncertainty
How could you have seen future in the futility of love?
How could you have seen something that was not?
When we would become the beast with two consciences
