SHARPEN

make me surrender
dowse me in gasoline
i am frozen
this life ahead of me
safe as safe as afraid
make me your late night
i can be gone
fast as any boy boying it
i can explode
i drank a lot of your empty
took my time at surviving
weave this winter with this summer
none but white walls
none but i am sleeping in light
make me afraid of having
i am troubled by the weight
of stuff          fancy jewelry
anchor for a hurricane
there is too much laughing
when i am this open
standing out in rain
no one exactly knows
why we are not the slope of cloud
why my name is not jack
why the mountains reach
why i wish i was a whale
soaring through the pacfic ocean
singing about the beautiful beach
to sleep
