Midnight

lift this burden to midnight skies

midnight skies who conjure up midnight lies

midnight travels scream midnight whys

poets moan midnight siqhs

as poetry grieves a poet's midnight cries

so what if i've earned a bronze hand

i'll just paint beautiful prose with my left nub

but first i'll unscrew the bulb, 

or can i perfect this 14th line in the dark?

the pen marks me, targets me

i mean him

well forgive him

i mean me.....
