Vinyard TribulationsA Poem by Count HumilusSilence of meUnder grape vines Being stared at by the magic hour Holding you until you push me away We cut coconuts. Mine has gone bad. Yours is perfect. I make a list in the dirt of why I love you… My mind fills a chest full of my belongings, Full of her eroticisms Her moans Her taste The way I only was able to see her in the variable times of days light The way the sun kissed her face by the pool The way her eyes would sleepily make me smile in the morning The way she made me feel like the luckiest 23 year old kid I am having a panic attack thinking about absence Inevitability’s slumber sneaks up I like to stay hooded up and take a walk down east Chin up Eyes down Right fist clenched tightly around my brass knuckles Left hand keeping a loose grip around my bottle of tequila and rolling papers (summis) I come home to what I already knew Never asked for advice Just let this experience play out I blame things on the sky I curse the air these days I pretend like the clouds aren’t even there anymore I’ll sleep on the floor I’ll take care of another disappointment I am over bullshit I am over a drunk texts giving me false hope I am letting my self go to sleep Appropriate on my day of birth A cycle complete Unbeaten earth I finally find home © 2009 Count Humilus |
