My Burden

Like a song
played on an
out of tune
guitar,

like store front
city streets
in dying
southern towns,

like green
hand picked
tattoos blurred-
distorted by time ,

the thoughts
that twist
and wrench
through my head
some nights.

Like a newborn pony
I walk uneasy
on shaking legs-

one a.m.

two a.m.

five and six.

I am a dervish,
I paint,
I write,
I cry.

This is what
it is like,

this is my
burden.
