Hard Boiled Crazy with a side of Grit

Hard Boiled Crazy with a side of Grit

By Debra L Scott Aug 30, 2012

A mind roams fractured upon a foreign landscape
Thoughts jumble sideways, flipping like pancakes
What kind of crazy prefers the street to the hearth?

Voices whisper
Shadows beckon

The stars wield knives to butter the senses
A lifeline unravels, picked apart by a cell tower
A merciless blue moon is friendlier than love

Cold air seduces
Blade cuts solace

A bundle of rags soothe like a quilt
The patchwork mirroring a mismatched brain
An aproned Siren sings from the bridge rail

Slippery sanity
The water awaits
