Making it law 
won’t make it...

my ink bleeds each night

Belly and back pain
Her water breaks now

The baby drops

I must analyze them;
Awake, up and penning;

Bid me write a poem
For my heart boils up
Wisdom, sense and skill
Emotions trapped in

I wanted a car;
But a horse walked by;

Close not close enough
Why am I shooting at an empty sky?
The clouds are covered in impenetrable bullet proofs
How do I shoot at the...
