AMBITIOUS BOTHER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #14

faithful is the dysfunction

that harbors me no real harm

beguiling is her apparent mystery

laden down by little if any obvious charm

the speed at which we fly

even if backwards to the flow          

aids one in one's ability to prosperously

obtain as well as further manage to grow

wings or paws to whatever in place of hands

destined to be just a little better

where upon lies the thirsted claw

more brilliant though he bleeds from such a

tightened tether

and honor fails her fans

blowing softly away

each his last Pharaoh's feather..................

(Aug. 28, 1995)
