The older I get,
the more sleep eludes me...

I wish the world
was not so cold...

The raven's arrived
at the stroke of midnight...

You were almost four
when I came into this world...

The flush starts quickly,
hotter than molten lava...

Dear Father, oh heck, let me be proper...
Dear Heavenly Father...

I wrote this for a friend of mine who struggled...
Daddy...

I sometimes can
still hear your voice...

Harsh times we live
under these days...

The sins of our fathers
we shouldn't project upon the children...

I just needed
a break...

Oh look at me, oh look at me,
don't pretend you don't see me...
