I walk with my lonesome soul past the scream of the tormented mind the female falling with devil in hand spills of ink the twisted self then smoke in the breath stone carved street the near smell of death and wandering thoughts and wandering feets meet the cold December night in the shadow of spires and liars to drink pure the excellence of a walk through a sketch and revel slow I exist
heal the line between the relations close the distance the line was thine written across the back red river between the blades and we walk covered connected in vine my line till ripe stripes stripes stripes
and stuck on the outside
the terrible beast within
with the latch on the inside
I wait and wonder
and chat with the passers by
as I strip my own armor
and trade my weapons of words
for silence
and sandwiches
in the shade
of an apple tree
in view from the window
once full of laughter
now
one more skeleton
rotten wood, crumble plaster
part of the broken and grave human disaster
and the spirit wanders
looking for its true home
beyond tipi
beyond tent
walls corruptible
indestructible
through forever-time will stand
found in its dying
a house not made of hand
