a piece of the sky

 

acrylic on drywall/mixed media

 

Shake the sky

i don't want these blues

don't want you

inside me no more, no

no more

never ever easy

please let me down easy this time

but no just go

go find another one

just like that

just as you have

just as you will

and i'll just die

a trembling wild flower

shaking sky

soil-less 

right out your hand i slipped

step out your skin

now get out of mine

because the one who waits

is never late

you silly sore thumb

funny bone

scared sun

machine made simple

grave digger dimples

smile before you go

and if you got to go

don't go

just come here and come here

elephant man

pirate boy

lion heart

little joy

don't forget to hold me

when you think of me

because i'll miss you

like i'd miss a piece

of the sky.
