Sunday Poetry with Jenean C Gilstrap. Today: walk of the blind

 

walk of the blind

and the deserts rambled

their sad song

taking me back

to when i done wrong

and the rivers rose up

and the skies tumbled down

leavin’ me stuck

in this lonesome ole town

and the mountains

spewed forth fire and stone

strippin’ my soul

to its sun bleached bones

and now i walk

the walk of the dead

steppin’ on nails

wherever i tread

talkin’ the talk

of lost memories

blinded by the truth

of all that i see
