the rain

rudyard fearon

From Spin

The Rain

I cannot say, for sure,
Why Love hasn’t rained
On this old heart of mine,
Nor can I say its parched seedlings
Would be susceptible to growth…
But I will till the soil, once again,
Sprinkle it with man-made fertility
Then spread, open wide-like Sahara

And wait for the rain to come.

the edge

rudyard fearon

From Spin

The Edge

I have seen
the victim.

I have seen
the murder.

I have seen
the witnesses.

The eyes heard.
The ears saw.
And the law upheld.

I have been there.

Have you ever been there…
On the edge of violence?

red letters

From Spin

Red Letters

This is my blood.
I will not waver.

I will drip
red
letters
To the next generation.
