Road Scars
written by: James Dennis Casey IV
dull razor of time
slice thine cheek
longing to feel
anything at all
every waking moment
at war with myself
3 wishes and 2
black eyes, blue
cut and dry notes
silent dark symphonies
orchestrated in sleep
high as he’d ever been
bold italic dreams
lost, found, released
tripping down the highway
through hell, heaven sent
