Sad People can be Happy too

Medicine

A simple placation

Filling my blood 

with its own ideas

Better than the cool touch

Of empty concillation

Better than my own

Accustomed bitterness

Fire

Lets me live a bit harder

Burning my insides

Like a quiet scrape

Of honesty

Without the complications

Of the real truth

Silence

The Tennessee Williams “Click”

Reminds me

Of all I’m in love with

Forgetting

And all the gold

That glitters 

through the dark.
