The Word Only*

Don't tell me how hard
because I won't
just speak easy
sew these torn fragments of this
night as-is your
night as-is
night is
always yearning for that bright
light that finds you no matter
how far I go and how close I become
to be indicted as Dionysus

You speak easy
I'll do my part
I'll draw that maze
I'll paint it with haze
I'll call it "The Word Only"
I'll smoke that Haiku,
chew on a Shakespearian sonnet,
sip the "Waste Land" in a glass of wine
I'm just fine with "The Word Only"

"Because I do not hope to turn again"
I won't just speak easy
"Because I do not hope"
to hear you complain
"Because I do not hope to turn"
back and speak easy, so

Don't

don't tell me
just speak easy
You speak easy
sew these torn fragments
I'll tear'em apart
and keep'em holy because
"I am not worthy
but speak the word only"
