Cleanse The Past Fire

Alone, burning fire,
I clear, clean, and cleanse the past;/
Wish for future growth.

Defined By Your Worst Deeds

When you’re defined by /
the worst deeds you ever did,/
change your tomorrows.

No mistake: Sounds you
make clarify or destroy
what I contemplate.

My garden may be

the most mixed up ever seen,

but I planted it.

You can control your/

life, or be controlled by it. /

Either is your choice.

When she has her own

Oasis and it’s not you,

what are you good for?

Buying seeds to plant/

isn’t the same as planting,

weeding, harvesting.

When you forget her

Mama’s dogwood seeds and they

still grow, she’s aware.

be aware

be alert.

My neighbor told me

to go to hell. I think I’ll

go to church instead

My curfew used to be

at 10.

Now I can’t even

make it ’til then.
