Safe Travels

I walk dark Mid night camouflage my face Provide sanctuary against Malicious souls and deadly spirits Who seek to pick my life to insanity Who offer my body up as road kill A decade ago, five years ago, yesterday, tomorrow; Smiles bright as the sun in mid sky Grins at dusk Sneers at twilight Mocks mid night; Flesh pick from Blue black brown bodies Peel back by hot coal Set to noose five hundred years of dreams; I slide through the darkness Naked For safety Mid night camouflage my likeness Blinds malicious souls and deadly spirits to my breath; I watch Listen As siblings dressed in multi-colored joys Are picked insanely from life Torn from the fabric of their mid day lies By truth of white fire Rope Tar Blood.
