Street Words - 9. Wait and Blind
Had a request to pull out some more early poems, found some prose I may post too. These i wrote when I was about 20 years old, so I'd been on the street 5 years.
Wait
Seems to me you cannot see
The boy inside this dirty coat
Cuz you walk on by
Blind to me
Cannot see my bruises
The pain I carry like
Anvils
Blind
When you were hot, I was pretty
But done, your vision clears
You see what I cannot hide
Dark shadows, fresh scars
The hunger in my eyes
You can't look at me
As you leave bills
On the table
