No Shit (Iggy Pop)

It was in the winter of my fiftieth year
When it hit me

I was really alone
And there wasn’t a hell of a lot of time left

Every laugh and touch that I could get
Became more important

Strangely, I became more bookish
And my home and study meant more to me
As I considered the circumstances of my death

I wanted to find a balance between joy and dignity
On my way out

Above all, I didn’t want to take any more shit

Not from anybody

White Kitten

saw a white kitten
in the road today
with a tyre track through its body

its head was still intact
and its tail was swishing angrily
where was god?

Silent Night

Dog tired
Can’t rest
I prowl a house
That is silent as our hearts

What would I give
For the mind
Still full of hope
And wild imagining?

The autumn weather
Drier
Cracks the teak
Once tall and living

Here naked
Exposed
The ridicule
Of going out of being
