Drifter
with something to sell
seeking attention from gods who are either false or opaque
I am enthralled by fractures set off by the messes I make
banished to the outskirts of town finally I have found my place
outlawed to construct facades using some sympathy constraints
I stayed up all night brewing, yet I'm not surprised I’m still awake
there are humans who need me who have been cast aside and displaced
and an urgent matter of supply, mandates need to make haste
before I start to grasp at straws like a brute then tend to my aches
who am I, you ask? a drifter, a merchant,
a salesman in a suit with glass bottles obtained from a snake
About the Creator

Adversity is kindling I choose to burn to keep my hands warm in winter ensuring my words will stretch beyond the years that turn my bones to dust.
