sad emotional

average devotional

admission of guilt with no capitals 

required reading where

minds come to

dive into muddy waters

concerns in circles without diameters

listen 

i know this wasn't what you expected

i don't have skills 

or pay bills 

i've been rejected

create a space

crashed in place without leaving the couch

in smaller times i washed my hands

of this tightening 

bands of mothers in celebration

i watch the flock and wonder 

why incarceration comes with food and reading

retirement plans in white collar crimes

no bleeding

or basement rooms with doctors or stars in films

i don't need much

a mattress and lunch and dragons

in dungeons with crazy mages

i've gone on enough 

this time

perhaps tomorrow won't be so rough.
