Your Beast
...

I engage in the battle,
It rattles my inner space.

I'm tweeking out,
All I can do...

Easy Cowboy
...My phone's atop my heart tonight
Most times it's there I keep
In case you send a message
Because you cannot sleep

NO ONE TAKES ANYTHING AWAY

nothing striking—except the strange restraint of the living.
The coffin, made of somber wood, bore an inscription,
succinct, sincere, almost brutal:

Poets, bards, sing. Taciturn, red, rotten.

Thinking that my wish would return back to me
But that’s not how...

Operates,
In different states.

Learning to propagate,
Designing a substrate,
Continuing to circulate.

To elevate without them
Even when they're not supportive.

They always want to be part of your glowing...
