Craft My Wrongs
Today I smithed a poem to the scent of spices,
Washing my beddings to allow a new sheet of habits,
I come from a broken home so I’m careless with my affection,
I am wasteful with my trust
and I smoke cigarettes like I made them,
I am Mozart on the piano but only with a pen,
Every key I strike is a confession to my wrongs,
This is how I breathe my faults through the vail of anonymity,
Today I smithed a poem to the scent of the spices on mountains,
It sounds like one I’d write hours before the sky starts crushing down,
Before my skin turns cold and I see the stairs in the constellations,
I feel like I would craft the Eiffel Tower with my palms,
I am Mozart on the piano,
But only with a pen.
