Treasure

I’ve got many questions

Do you see them

Floating upwards?

Does doubt die upon meeting you?

So you send it back

To me unanswered.

We’ll meet one day

And you’ll have

All the questions,

I’ll stutter out an answer.

You’ll peel back all my scales

In blinding agony

And reveal the treasure

You placed there long ago.

– Vagabond Prophet

Haggis

Resentments sitting content

Happy in my blindspot

Loading up on buckshot.

Dropping their illusions

Descending around

This fragile ground.

Saying brutal things

With crepuscular scent

That make me lament.

“Did you gargle with haggis?

You smell like entrails and fear

And your end is near.”

Can you give me words

To silence these birds of prey

And render them but clay?

Rejected

Wanna go get told

There’s no room for us

At a hotel?

Or eat out

Once all the foods gone?

We could beg for seats

On a bus with no space.

Let’s get every application

Rejected

Torn to shreds.

If we’re neglected

Down below

We’ll be accepted

Up above.

– Vagabond Prophet
