In the Last Hour of this Night
In the last hour of this night,
When the coffee's steam has,
Breathed its last breath, and
the cigarettes are dancing at
the edge of darkness,
We'll all stop on our journey
to sit on dirt roads and look
At each other, with something
akin to loneliness.
But if life is touch and go, then
touch me like I'm God and run,
from my dirt road, afraid of sanctity,
Just make sure to leave the last
cigarette with me. Because the
coffee's gone and the door is
swinging back and forth
on rusty hinges.
Not fully closed.

A Lonely Road, You, And Me
I want a lonely road,
Where the power vibrates
beneath my palms.
I want the dust kicked up,
and screams echoed across,
deserted valleys for miles
I want your power humming
beneath my finger tips
the sinews of your muscles
tensing. Muscles straining
as I strain your power.
I want a lonely road, and you
and me. And the sinews
between your muscles
Screaming.
Start it up, darling,
I'm ready to go,
Let's fuck, Let's get it done
Fuck with my head,
I'll screw with yours,
Bring that hand down,
You'll ask for more,
Let's fuck darling,
Let's get it done,
I'm tired, honey,
Don't have much more,
Tonights the last,
So let's get it done,
Let's fuck darling,
Because tomorrow,
I'll be done.
She looked at him. A tangled mess of words collided and circled like a whirlwind in her head. Her eyes deepened to a glorious shade of deep blue before she spoke. The words before she could even stop them tumbled freely from her mouth, like a force of mother nature no one could stop.
"I am pathetic and inadequate. And to be quite honest I'm so incredibly meaningless its preposterous." Her voice was like rain slipping over bare skin. It slithered its way down his mind in a simple way and yet so fluid he wondered if there was ever a break, ever a flaw.
"This, all of this. It's stupid and meaningless. And, I can't tell if I'm thrilled abo
I love you.
His eyes falter, glanced to the ground. He couldn't find it in himself to hold that cold stare. She took his gangly form into her sight, drank him up and then promptly spit him out. Her bored gaze shifted back to her book.
No you don't.
Her tone was cold, nonchalant. She brushed him off easily, almost cruelly. He stared at her incredulously.
I'm sorry.
He bowed his head again, tears wanting to form but he wouldn't allow it. She huffed,
You should be.
She stood, put a few dollars on the table, glanced at him once, slightly shook her head, and then, left.
I'm sorry.
She was old, withered. Her skin waved and caved like the integument of a wizened tree, dying. Gray and brittle, her hair shot out of her forgotten bun in chaotic abandonment. Strands zigged and zagged cynically cracking and jabbing the space around her. Her fingers had become deformed by time and contorted inward as though they were claws imprisoning innocent victims in their sickly grasp. Deeply sunken into her skull, her eyes were dark, an infinite black. They shined like the murky depths of a stagnant pool. But her most unforgiving feature were her thin deathly smirking lips. They were a grayish pink and would distort with any jarring move
