On Putting Language To Pain

West Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces

putting language to pain
circling the drain
pulling the wagon
pushing the cart
dragging my feet
pulling up stakes
all or nothing one more goddamn time
I swear not going back
ain’t never going back.

putting language to pain
wearing these chains
pushing this cart
pulling that wagon
dragging those feet
this storm in my head
I’m raising the stakes
just one more time Lord
and I wanna know will you miss me when I’m gone?
