"Matthew Songs"

they sing their Matthew songs to me
Heaven’s hold is paved by stains ingrained 
in glory dream streets of burnished gold
angels crowned by The shining nebulous, like poker cards fold

their heads bowed low to a mystery risen riding clouds 
that fly across an empyreal chariot sky
all shades of intermittent blistering blue, 
their memories now far

OUT OF THE BRAIN

Loves, kick out all the bad in your brain, don’t let other take up space in your brain. 
Tell them you have no place, for their games. 
They pretend to care, but only want to cause you fear. 
They play mind games, to try to control you, and make you have fear. 
Life is like

The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris

I led a boring life.
The end.

All joking aside, now the epilogue.

as a mediocre student,
who honestly nearly failed every grade
courtesy my nasty, short
and brutish doppelgänger,
who nixed, sabotaged, waylaid
me a little boy blue

ComeHoming - Matthew 15:4

Words muttered out of context, out of line.
A rage-shadowed truth,

There’s no abuse hurled or fists weaponized,
and much
— if not all —
is done with the intent of love.
But even so,
