by Brian Anthony Hardie
Instead of being text book romantic,
I level the basis of nervous
Contentment, walking a thin
Line synopsis of the Tragic
War between detectives and
Thieves singing
Belches in a new drug scene
Fabricated from the wild
Horse sedative, wallowing
In the dusty mind storms,
stinging the skin. Homicide
Drama begins her song with
A drumbeat.
Bullets and rays
Shot behind strung out eyes
Praise and break bread with all
But the Addictions killer. Sober
Senseless hidden views of Washington
Equally stabilize the loss, lingering as
That possible romantic overdose subsides.
Brian Anthony Hardie lives in Portland, Oregon & has been writing poetry and playing music since the age of seven.
