Terry Horn - More Poems
i am alone
and
you are here
and
i am alone
and
i do
not want
to do
this
anymore never
again
keep going
one of the secrets
of life
involves movement
cleaning
keep the broom working
the dust pan
looks ready too
ponce
imagine no longer
needing to worry
needing to be
concerned
mark the calendar
circle the day
make it a bulls eye
pint glasses for the
over achiever
spent the night
out
on the couch
where i slept
with a blanket
didn’t this happen
last week
and the week before
and the week before
that
the truth we
need to tell
mom died
took the love
with her
hate destroys us
the land that
produced peanuts
magnolias
and
bob
who married
betty
after
a short hospital
stay
i wanted to
play woody
songs
ride a train
and bleed
so i could
bleed again
goodbye
to
however it was
maybe
we didn’t know
then
like
we know now
rub
the tired out
of
your eyes
embrace
motel life
fires
and the grave yard
see the moment
it was
in the hospital
betty and bob
the promise
that is always
kept
“what a long strange trip it’s been”…got old and noticed,noam said here we have two parties that represent the same interests:a gun in one hand and a bible in the other,surprised we are still alive,stay well,fight the good fight.
nobody
knows where they are
going
they might say they
do and believe they do
and often achieve things
that confirm they do then
something else
arrives
the mice
were
underneath the house
planning
you
were upstairs
packing
your gun with
fresh
bullets
the world
is where we live
for now
anyway
soon
extinction is happening
and
we are watching
just
open up your
fucking eyes to
witness
the
revolution
of the hungry
waking up to this
i am
not very strong
however
i am
part of a
collective
