the conflict of my life
is solely based on the fact
that a long time ago I
was a heinous drunk.
the death of which, freed -
for a moment - my fate.
but the past lives forever
in the darkest corner of
the dirtiest town in Tennessee;
one breath away from light
and my inevitable disgrace.
and the puzzle of darwinism
lies in the rebirth of the mockingbird.
fresh new souls waiting, hoping
for the gravity of sin to
rest upon their silent minds
