Untitled in My Poetry Slams

Undaunted by the prospects
Of empty sifting pans
I still got out of bed

````````````````````````````````````

Thirty times I’ve been around
Six times I ran aground
But who’s keeping score?

```````````````````````````````````

The ghost keeps talking
Gleaming white teeth
Same as our old bones

``````````````````````````````````

Blood runs down my cheek
Tears falling quickly
Fell too hard from grace
