Alleyways to Truth

To live this life in and out of alleys
past the black cap of midnights
into the blue abyss of shaken dawns
always three furlongs from some end
in full stride my mind eclipses doubts
to fight the vagrant thoughts of decline
as I saddle new horizons with worn feathers
straight into the high winds of no denial
parched and weary though not crippled
a new dream held high upon my brow
I look to the quarter moon for inspiration
sure that the great sun will paint it full again
despite her distant phony cries of love

Once when she was wet with NEW
she had the courage in her fear
to seek out something finer
words upon a page leading her
in new directions

He takes once last look
and decides to let her go
there is no time for painting
a black fence white

Once the truth sets in
the dog barks loud
