Lexicon


Scrape rock bottom
with a rusty razor.

When you’re trapped
in the pit, just look up.

Spy a patch of blue sky
amidst ominous clouds.

Let rain wash away
rage & indecision

& float you to the top.
(No backsliding now!)

Last night’s horror
is tomorrow’s mythos.

When will you stop
playing a film extra

in your life’s epic?
Paint in broad calli-

graphic strokes; write
in a dead language

to an obscure song.
