Flatline Sincere


Nothing is as good
As beating flesh in the wood
Thumping with a rush
Jumping out of the brush
Sleeveless, naked and sincere

Wholly aching to live
From the bottom forgive
Pulsing warm or bleeding salt
Attacks every fault
Honest, flawed and sincere

Bold, sore from the start
Only just to break apart.
Willing to be taught
Pouring out each real thought
Fleshy, heavy and sincere

Where a wall will be

Every night I wake up in the dark My shoulder’s uneasy while I sleep If I let the other shoulder bear the load Then I can sleep again...
