I chase the daily refrain In an offbeat stride With fault lines raging Across my flesh Refuge is few and far between In the maddened trail I carve For the rail-bound peril I trust A deathly pulse is spawned And off I race Into frostbitten arms For the coils Of the common man’s strife…

Above my frantic reach I endlessly clamor Driven to savagery’s brink As affections coast on high Devoured in their ease And treasured by sacred blue skies To soar Above spire and shroud Where the envious peer In the throes of their newborn rage They are not meant to graze These downtrodden eyes My sorrowful…

Once dire words had stalled Calmed to a breeze So thankful and dull And all we could spare Was short and sweet In our fruitless quarrel With sheer satisfaction There was only pure silence For our skin and bones The dog-tired gasps Of words well-spent
