I am afraid, god
I am falling in love at the tsunami tide
I am falling
In love
Dare i say it
On Babys breath
I am
Falling in
Love
As the men pick up their spears
Great big spears
And lie down arms
Soft hands
For those with hard knuckles
And bloodied tooth smiling grins
Worst comes to worst is
Worse than i can dare think
Because i am
Listen, god
I am, seventeen
A young man, not barely a man,
I am seventeen
Falling
In love
With a target painted bright red
Not only on my heart
But on theirs
And i can’t have that
How Inconvenient
A world
A hollow carved
Is being pushed out
By angry
Men and tall big suits
They hate
Us
I say
They Hate us,
Don’t even know what the word means
I am seventeen, could i not have had
A gentler landing
I am
Seventeen
Birds nest built as the big
Trail Blazers
Bulldozers
All these men who say
That they are revolt
When we
Simple touch
Hand in hand walk the street
Are bigger and more
Revolutionary
Than they could ever dream?
I am tired,
God
I wished a better world for us
Us with our angel wings
Me with my dog teeth
Them with their doe eyes.
I wished a better world for us,
A softer one,
Lined with down,
Rose petals
Now, lord,
I must go to war,
Silently,
Pack my things in the early
Morn
The dark gray,
Tiptoe on padded feet
Out the house and
Into the concrete yard
Lord, i need a gun, switchblade, blunt weapon
Something for me and my lover
Because lord
They are coming for us
Hammers and gunmetal
They want us dead lord
And lord
I beg you
The flower is blooming
Im falling in love
With nails underfoot.
Im falling in love
And i cant hardly imagine nothing
Lest it be worst of worlds
Hell on earth
Shit piss blood teeth bottom of cage.
Lord, i am afraid.
God save us all.
Amen.
