Outlaw

Visions blind his sight; These nightmares wake him up; In the middle of the night. Memories fade to dust in time. He misunderstood the message from; Outlaws arrive at the border by transgression, They fight against the boundaries of oppression. Now this boat is sinking, While he goes down with the anchor. I watch this tragic shipwreck. Cameras show up in surprising places; Familiar strangers view public dangers. Sitting here staring at these white walls ; Some insect under his skin makes him crawl. He wonders at how she eats away at his flesh; Still edgy after a night without rest. People come and go but he swears; They count the droplets that drip off his forehead. They see inside his desperation; Results up for anticipation. He condemns with such ease; The other’s desire to please; The affliction that rules his kingdom.
