“The Loving of the Seventh Son”

May 29th, 2018




Sold like the 6th son I was

Sold while heaven was in bed with the 7th one


Was it done 

Or were the wild nights just cut right by some sister’s young


That’s where it’s buried

Some look to the lone prairie but truly it’s left alone with the Holy Mary


Still she can dance

Just now not partnered with this martyred prince


Just now not chartered towards some coastal trance

Just now… It’s not just


Not just a change

Not just a cold vein


More like a simple saying expressed then left roomy and barren


Trees do this

Past Spring they bloom and consume

Only to drop their loved pieces into some urban broom


Sweeping up the green that brought that peaceful scene


Autumn can be felt early this May
