Word of The Day: United
Strip flesh from muscle,
strip muscle from bone
tear bone from bone
and leave them to rot
In the Valley of The Dry Bones
a sunless place
where black acrid clouds cover the sky
and it never rains
where we used to be one
United
with ourselves, with each other
Used. To. Be.
In another dream
far away from here.

If I am going to burn
because I am not good enough
pure enough
smart enough
to see and hear
what I am supposed
to think and feel
defined by rules
and deeds
penned by another’s hand
I will gladly strike the match
and go with the flames
free to run, free to walk, free to fly
free to be me, free to be a dream, free to sleep
free to think
and breathe.
You can stand there.
You can watch me burn, see by my light
and wait for the darkness to take you
back.
