you try
every day
to pin down clouds
shake some soul
from the sun
you try
because
you're just so damn tired
of small voice
assumptions
so you take it
upon yourself
to comb the truth
from
the beard of the legend
you end up lost
choking
on a squall of
cracker crumbs

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
