Skipping StonesA Poem by Jacky BonesIf you can love, you were born on time.
It's just like me to make
the worst out of the best After closing doors, an smashing windows I'll take a rest To breathe this breath Back into you (To breathe into you) Holding this stone, I'll rewrite my date Please forgive me, all children make mistakes We'll let the wind grow I'll throw this raspy voice To the back of a sinking ship like I didn't know I hadn't had a choice Catch the drifting rain And choke it till it bleeds In this clenching fist Dance of shadows Butterflies and Moths Before the end, another blank page Before that, words laying face down in the street These Endless days are lost Playing tricks on our eyes Praying, prying to get inside It's just like me to make These days Descend After crossing fingers, an cutting promises I'll tell a friend So I can bleed this ink out of me (bleed this out of me) I wanna hear your voice Crashing with the waves And I know this More every f*****g day A candle light separates this great divide These walls were bigger Than love These angels were anxious And crashed in the corners Black spirits were embracive Through my smile, A kink in the jaw Another mile, A kick to the spider web Porcelain heart, cracking my ribs You waited by the side of the sea for me, my lover, for me to return You rooted to the ground The clouds rolled over you And you didn't make a sound And I couldn't change a thing besides cage this violent breeze And unleash it on my rescue ship It's just like me to make Everything go wrong And I've waited so long Its time to forgive myself And make it right Before I lay flowers at your stone tonight
