Bent like strings / Stitched to my heart’s new sewn seam / Strong as Adamantium / High
above me / Starlight beams / The pavement gleams / And all I want to do is sleep /
Remembering, curbside: the night that my hope-bound heart died / Bright, pink ribbon
skies / I’ll never forget / In dreams I have tried / Slaughtering that sunset / Fifth of May /
Thus began the yearlong day / In the death of Spring, 2008 / Ease the pain / I made my
world a nightmare’s dream / Flying on wings of amphetamine / 2015: wings spread
again / Full-flight / Took an axe to them / Forced to face the day / Blue skies or gray / Let
the chips fall as they may / Tradewinds catching my clipper ship’s sail / Westward on to
the next heart / I am impaled / Time and again / Burning down at both ends / I lost my
dorm key / I can’t get in / To make amends / I’ve been a wrecking ball / I want to fix it all,
but / To the rust we fall
