two sides




to escape the cost, the pain

i sought the one sided coin

with which i could buy a ticket

for that sailing across my void



a journey from cradle to an empty pit;

generous compassion, i thought

i should transact to live my todays

dodging the travails of yesterdays



but purer the compassion more pain

was on the other side making gain

repeating that Nazarethean likeness

etching in soul, advanced with soreness
