You knew enough to
Keep it up:
That moonlit agony
From the night of the soul
Masking your face—
You gave out
Your goddamned life for show;
Put a crack in the heart,
Put a fire in the spirit,
Of those who watched,
Of those watching—made time and tense no matter.
Laughter and tears and
The eternity of print,
A tightrope beyond darkness but a breath away.
An artist,
Is NOTHING,
But what He/She
Gives;
And though it’s good
For a few laughs,
It hurts like hell
To be nothing,
Doesn’t it?
Way under the moon
Of gravity-bitten and conscious-clawed pain,
Is naked wisdom masked by shining laughter,
Just like you.
