Hotel Room Poem
Haunted
by what I’ve done
Broken
by the quiet
desperation
of a night
spent in the arms
of tv preachers
The lamb of god
lies bleeding
on the bed
Now I lay me
down to sleep
in the straight
jacket of twisted
sheets
and the soil
of my demons
I do not beg
forgiveness
from the
empty eyed
mistress
with the
unforgiving smile
She is is not
here for me
