Ill At Ease

Ill At Ease


Words germinated from
Seemingly nowhere
Set my insides ill-at-ease

Bile from the
Darkest places

The bitterest pieces were
Tinged Pink

Curled up next to the fire
With paper and a drink
I thought about the bigger
Scheme of things


Trust is rare wood.
The burn is slow;
Don't squander it.
You know
It's the stuff that
Life and dreams are made of

You may need it for warmth
In the cold days of December
When sweaters plans unravel.
