Mike McHugh eagle- eyes? daylight dulls the light in my bedroom. and it burned so well against the night. i often try not to think too much. i often find i've done alright. i bless my brave companions. the ones i've known for the longest time. even if we meet for a second on the street we are secret heretics within a secret rhyme. tonight i'll fall asleep before sunset. i guess i'm catching up. i'll wake before dawn, try to put something decent on and watch the light rise above my coffee cup. there's an answer to everything. just find the correct form. then you can make fire freeze and briar branches leaves shield smooth skin from thorn. i walk to the broken down station to be with the rust and soot. there's a hole in my pocket. my keys once unlocked it. now my coins fall down onto my foot.
