A stubborn prodigal

I have had everything and known

The boon of heavy levies

How to pay the rent unknown

Or what to paint the Bentley, gold?

Most have one and long another but I’ve had both

And trust me, nothing changes that is bred in the bone.

My poems are dark-loaded stones

Skimmed across a thumbnail ocean

Until my skinnying mind is given entire, devotion by devotion.

Thrown to lions grown on Christian meals to please evil Rome.

I am eager to roam

Alas

Am eagle in dreams alone.

I have faced the fact

That I am not a leaver.
