Falling Portraits

Ringing ears, tolling of death, birds in my house,
it is not burying weather, crows scream in passing,
I stand in the shadows of graves, touching trees with unwashed hands,
do not wish upon the moon, there's nothing here for you now, scraping,
begging, for days, the clouds cannot hold water, thunder addles,
the shiver of the owl, cutting through me, I will lay in the dirt,
dry up in the sun,
feet first to the east, a bleeding corpse burnt in offering

Gravel Roads and sleepless nights
Silent hollers, tears in the muddy water
This is my home where everyone says goodbye
Faded memories and tombstones
How do I judge my worth when everyone is gone?
Empty words and picture frames
Broken dreams of a lonely boy
And the man that he became
