Settled on Texas heat
Smothered with white lies
Like a baby returned
Eyes wide open, bleeding
Punctured by adopted religion
Then the tears flow
Blood and stomach twisting
Hunger to seek more
Water the only quench
Pulsating rotation
My heart beating to the silence
Traveled far away
Only to be reminded of my skin
Reality the better teacher
Experience my only shield
To learn was to fall
Dirt driving
Night collisions
False relief
Sun bathed
Sin drunk
How many moons roamed?
Vultures circling
Waiting for the end
An end, my beginning
