Five Pennies

Five pennies and it’s not worth what it used to do
Love like 30 years ago the same now children grown asking us
what we leave for them

The answer lies within us cause their souls are lost

so mother take my smile smile away cause i saw you raped and cry

Oh Souls lost
because they cannot find
What this life’s for

I wished to put her into the ground
but someone burned her body to ash
so i cry not knowing where to go

A ring on a finger
A paper by a judge
A job working for life

I see your pain
because you wonder
what’s this life for

For decades talking about sensibilties
In dreams I shoot them but this long black cloud
tells me this is just a bad dream

I walked sidewalks for Souls and wept
I stole the yellow bird
that lives in diablo sex
he has a summer house in Phoenix
and teaches young girls how to seduce
Men, Women, I want to leave you and how
I’m not joking I want to leave you
upon double-winged angels God please remove my unquinched thrist, my skin, and my thoughts full of illusions | baby, babe, baby, I will sleep it runs upon
the rooftops mumbling, shivering, making violent
love with cats.
