Bible Life
Bent under the weight of living,
I unlearned myself
And vomited a past
I'd grown blue with forgetting.
Memories assualted me,
Debri I tried to forget.
Only men in dirty rags go back
Poking corners light ignored,
Feeding on its dust.
Nothing is there
Just as it always was.
I was a perpetual young man
Fierce as a playful puppy
Popping in and out of mischief.
Everything I said was contradicted;
My shadow was rarely needed.
Now I look for life and demand little.
Primitive thoughts are obsolete.
I walk calm and renewed
A reborn man.
In a few years
God will remember me.
