Bonfire - 8/3/09

I was huddled in the corner
teeth chattering
white eyes
terrified of what I know
but mystified

I've been battling my demons
on all fronts
I invited them to tea
I invited them to leave
I want to hear what I want

Somewhere I knew
what I needed
but no one showed me how
the desire just receded
and I just shut my mouth

Time stacks the regrets
like rotting corpses in your heart
and you have to inhale the stench
before the bonfire starts
