Happy, Or: Whatever…

wrote down the

words

that state 

in fact

i feel

that I get older every year

just like that fucking birdfeeder

in the backyard

weathered wood turning silver

in the blazing sun and dripping rain

barely a touch

of the auburn highlights 

that used to adorn it

golden whatever it is

and years of life shitting 

on the roofline

the  nightfall bright

glean of halcyon

on the edge of a 

dauntingly rusty razor

shadowboxing

the reaper

i stand here

soaked in

so dark at night now

so bright in day

the only relieving balm is the sunsets

in golden hues of salvation

and also still you

your smile

i would pleasantly 

drown in

gladly

unlike 

in the summer

thunder

safe and

happy again

if only 

allowed

for

now

whatever

it

is
