My Mojo Light- Blues Poem 12

My days and nights death in between trouble in front—behind The devil hijacking my fondest dream trouble in front—behind She said she loved me then said it twice trouble in front—behind The day I got fired she turned to ice trouble in front—behind I pass out stoned and wake up hard trouble in front—behind With time my warden and sentence scarred trouble in front—behind My children’s names now others call trouble in front—behind The doctor warns… “Not one more fall” trouble in front—behind Excuses inked across my chest trouble in front—behind The good got better but the worst got best trouble in front—behind My eyes stay swollen my mojo light trouble in front—behind The river rolling the falls in sight trouble in front—behind (Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)

I like the rhythm of this, and it is so true that trouble in front often leads to trouble behind. I liked the consistency of this, and the warning to others.
