The Right Column
Ghost Bridge


 I kept thinkin' you'd
be learning
  those hard truths
 that you always ignore
  lazy as you are.

   relativism
  in fallen angels
 means you get
   tied to them
  and dragged
   down with them
 
  it is like
   an anchor that
you imagine
   in your mind
  that pulls you
   down below
  into the junky sea
    of what and who
  she is that pulls
   you down.
  
   I thought
  that you would
know but you drove
 all of your friends
   away 'cept for me.

     All of this,
  this poem,
   drags me too
  into the junky sea

  won't you please
    lite an incense for her?
  She will be a good person,
    good soul that 
             she wants to be
  accusing guys of things
          that she makes up.

  Ask her if she's born again
   then why won't they drop the
   charges?

   She could recant,
    before the court
  what she said that he did.

   He didn't do those things she
    said he did.
  We all know this but the court
    must do what courts must do.

  Will you cross the bridge
             to safety or will
     she drag you down 
     again into her webs
      of sinking dispair?

   Won't you please burn
    the incense for her
  as nobody else seems 
          to want to?
