Thank thee, Lord, for living.
Thank thee, Lord, for death.
Thank thee for the ashy air
That fills my bony chest.

A black cat stares me down
Collar jingling, he scratches
Big yellow eyes eat me alive
I do not know what luck he brings—
I do not know that he brings luck at all
I was never one to believe

It’s a well lit highway, even more lit by our tranquil laughter.
A police land rover pulls over
Uniformed armed cops jump out
And cover us with their AK 47s.
Nothing can fill the emptiness of a loss.
No tear, sorrow, or sadness
can fill the gaps of time today.
He.He never does.He never gives it to her.the crumpled love note in his pocket,that she wanted nothing more than to recieve,the one he was sure she would never want.It turns to lint,
