the night wore thin
as did my body, my soul,
my rememberance of where it all began
i suppose if i was a better man
with a firm handshake
and a muscle, or two
it would all be much easier.
i always thought that some people
could control the revolutions of earth
with a stern look, perhaps
acquired through father.
austerity and a straight edge
two things i never mastered;
for lack of father
for much of mother.
perched upon life's periphery
i am one with the night
with the darkness
of my past, my closets
a vague recollection
and a smile.
Thank you Mother,
you're still a goddess to me.
