That Will Kill
Look at you
Now that you are OK
Look at me
Am I OK
I don’t think so
I am pretty sure
I am gonna have
A stroke soon
That will kill
Debilitate
I know I can call
On you, Lord
And it doesn't matter
In the infinite line
That goes on
But, But, But
I wanted to climb Everest
I wanted to photograph and
Draw trees that I love
And You have created.
I wanted to dance on
Waves in coastlines
That registered crinoline
Ribbons across behemoth portal
But,
That’s not just it
I wanted to do
What I wanted to
I didn't want to fight cancer
Didn’t want to fight indifference
Malicious indignation
Pernicious flights into
Subterfuge
Felonious fronts against peaceful
Nights at home by a fire
I wanted to sit on a hill
And float
Above the clouds as i
Assume my throne
Ruffling over waves of French
Threads of silken cloth
I wanted perfect lives
In all my threads
But I got this
I got that
I got sideways glances
Into death
I received maturation
Into truth
