Desperation Points

you'll grow up 

into these blues

decades cut, 

loneliness names you

open your mouth 

hear the sound

your voice becomes 

these songs

about heartbreak 

just guess

pencil in the spaces 

you'll later color in

you desire experience

alas, 

there are no child prodigies 

in this business

decades rolling 

with these blues

for a few years 

of best work

you’ll return then 

to the wind 

to become a notion 

for someone else
