what is bitter but the pill you prescribe to your self

fresh in the scent lemon
a sun shines the shoulder of a
girl drinking tea
mouthing words to no one
where am I
a long time since the brown
home town wintered under a Canadian
north west wind I winter
now in a hospital that
replaces all the wished for cold
a bed surrounded by
cops and me a corpse
who else knew this mind
but the invisible board of life
vetoing every move forward
agreeing to a lesson instead
of motion like talons burned
black and remade in to the silver
gold of mercy, a lie a
classroom of pain but there is
Art Park in February
where I will one day stand
petrified under clouds about to
dump more snow then
Ive ever seen in a short cold life.
