so she sold some jewelry for porcelain lettering, 
and we clapped and sang the alphabet into life
our life, our joy, our...

A Caravelle wall clock behind me
  ticks away muffled minutes,
Its black pointed hands 
   reaching upward and downward;

The EXIT sign above the open white door

Parachuting life in our wounded hearts 
Grass buried underground for decades 
Is sprouting from the root once more
Blades standing tall and strong 
Embracing the hopeless ones.

at least not all of it,

the tears in her eyes, her clenched and shaking fists

enunciated more clearly,

The Lord spoke to me in dominion.
As a protectorate, he gave vision.
He said through intoned power that the renunciation of a religious faith

I'm living in a haze,
These dark days. 
Some how always
Getting the best of me

Why won't they leave me be.

cloaked the rail path
Lightning strikes were furious
Thunder storms drum big
Windows drenched in rain
Unable to see the scenes
Uncertain about the future 
As we were trapped inside

Holding my dad's fingers
I closed my...
