His Songs

he plays a little club on tuesday nights, a seedy little place off main

the voice, still strong after all this time; yet he never did sell his name.

his songs, sad and sweet, sift through my soul transcending time and tomb

my lonely heart answers the way it knows best; i feel i must call home.

invoking the loss of my family, of my false securities

his songs call out my every conceit and bring me to my knees.

home will you take me back? i’m so damned tired of this road

i thought, oh i thought i could make it, until i heard his songs.

Ambition

She struggles with a lack of ambition

For her, a drug, a cold addiction.

Mistress of attempting little

Cancelled appointments

Vitae contentious

Lackadaisical,

Victimized,

Captive,

Lazy.
