Buster Wolf: And I know I could have caved with the best of these strays in subways Tunneled for days only to surface where the wild things played (but is this) time better spent on dodging bitterness Reassembling revenants who couldn’t care less Hence the hesitance To stumble brave toward that new set of dagger eyes Four chambers rust eaten, pass the bottle, treat me sweetly See, it’s sorta similar to replicant life spans Tour the water till your four years up then Redraw your borders With cartographers hands Sans islands and archipelagos Take a dose of vapor in the morning vamonos Wear your bones like you mean it Or dress yourself in broken pixels Introduce yourself as wistful And wait for sweater weather White blooded with Weighted wing feathers What’s better? A pretty push past the flocks of flightless A firefly in a mason jar to light this I’ll quietly crawl across a curled spine to find spectral eyes to meet mine To say sooth, tell tale, or sing in crowspeak through loose teeth Mouths can cauterize with muted music The cut and carved hearts of the wounded Hey hey hey this king of the shit pile / rock a rusted crown tilted/ the slow motion kill scene was filthy/ Bored to death till the cleric resurrect/ I see through identities like x ray spex/ I’m not the one to write off or discard/ spit hard chain mail raps in a ship yard/ I will scar the hard hearted with icicle daggers or frostmourne/ fork tongue, sword tooth, say sooth through broken jaw/ broken word unspoken holding talismans/ to ward the yokai with/ smoke pipes with Mithrandir on floating islands/ I hover, brandish AT Fields for the angels/ geomancer strangles with living bramble/ veins tangled / break bread with well dressed wraiths, quite simply/ quietly composing space opera symphonies/ spin free, with a little sweet and simple numb the chest piece/ keep my ghost at arms length in a stasis/ basic dystopian funk to fuck faces/ tuck laces, tucked blades under tongues / Brooklyn bums barter bardsongs for beer funds/ where I’s from/ I sleep well in a bed of cicadas/ singing “wake up, cousin – ain’t nobody gonna save us” / Picture this/ time spent/ in a city/ spine bent/ all framed/ watch it go on busses/ on trains I left behind my name/ for a little bit of fame Artisan P: a brick in the wall, another face in the city i walk around as a nobody in the vicinity who’s coming with me? because i’m destined for hometown arrive as a stranger, moving through like ghost sounds hope’s found, then floats like a tugboat off into the currents with a palm around my throat i stitch together narratives in hopes to invoke to steady nod heads to steady keep it dope under my dome piece are hidden all alone these thoughts that come to life as that terrifies the old me never mind the bullocks, i dip for Okeechobee thru canopy roads that we gallop on so slowly i’ll reach the outer limits, i’ll be a thunder bang while the other sang under god forsaken summer days break it down to pieces, tear it up like loose leaf and put it back together as a tune that soothes me who’s he that throws labels willy nilly perspective only works with you split it 50-50 come and get me, i’m rolling out on skid fixies i’ll be there in a hurry in the matter of a jiffy we stalk nights like the shadows of old city for dramatic effect, winds push leaves gritty another town, another set of swinging doors another round of drinks to reminisce forever more

I wrote these lines in the company of felines white noise, muted flicks and mason jars of cheap wine rewind eight millimeters worth of free time read it off the paper to remind me things will be fine are these rhymes just my chosen method to murder minutes til the beard grows grey and his wolf days are finished? i've witnessed the litmus change colors like autumn leaves abandoning trees in big numbers like ladies changing faces relationships gone under like cicada wings after 17 year slumber and i wonder how much longer til i sail off how much longer til i'm frail and racked with a tell tale cough that calls Thanatos to reap his harvest recycle my cold soul bring it back to where it started when I'm dearly departed how long til I'm forgotten will they speak ill of this cadaver 'fore his bones have started rotting? pardon - but it keeps 40 winks to a fraction when it all goes down i'ma sink with the captain don't think - it's time for some action i ain't living like the dead life isn't a closed casket I wrote these lines while slouching in a cubicle day dreaming of the cities that i've seen all beautiful walked this crooked earth from cobblestone to catacombs but wolf's just passing through I've never really had a home I'd rather roam adding prose to this tattered tome til both our spines are misaligned my ghost will sing "i had to go" and it's - truly nothing to be sad about i lived doing what i loved of that I've never really had a doubt so what you worried for? what you in a hurry for? i'm taking time to fall in love with every moment til I'm buried or they tossing wolf's ashes off the brooklyn bridge remember me for who i was and not for what i said and did you better live like all plans tentative like you a representative of how to dead the negative just put that hope into practice just be mindful of this moment just be there when it happens until I expire and that's all she wrote I’m finding life in every breath until I rock that pine overcoat and I won't waste my time here I'm doing just fine here
