Man spins in a blanket of rage
Heart aches from the grater life has been
Tear shed tears for being locked away
In the dark
Never to dry until they see light
He flails and screams like a dancer on triple speed
Longing for the days his bones knew how to shake
Shaking is too fast now, too fem, too unsafe
Cry and get your ass beat
Rage and get left alone
Loneliness caps the feelings into a dark cavernous chill
Body slumps like a plant locked in a box
Once he has run away from the love
His heart needs most
She makes him look at it
Feel the rainbow
But it's only red that is thick enough for the city
Violet magnetized victimized violence
His circle of loneliness grows larger with each grown of angry sorrow
Shouting away all other colors like a spinning wheel
As I watch him storm away
I wish I could blow the dark veil of clouds away from him
Grab the sun and force feed it into his eyes
Remind him he is made of leaves and to not despair
In the bareness of winter
He is meant for heights only his bones know
Alas he is gone now
Drudging the muddy waters
Of the Once was Wetlands
Oasis for avian aviators travelling the globe
Now cemented over
For the coyotes of clothes and fur
The last dark corner
In an artificially illuminated cement cemetery
Where brain rules all
and soul has no soil.
Travel in peace my brother
May you find a place to rest your salty tears upon
The arteries of the ocean
May your feet find Earth and
Your skin find sun
May you grow fresh branches out into the world and
Shed the
Dead leafless interior branches which
Fester old wounds and
Become so full you leave
A slug's trail of smiles
Behind
Everywhere you go
May you find
A healing haven within
Blessings and
Love
Brother
I love you,
Ben
