DARK HORSE

They say that wisdom
comes from excess
or at least
that sometimes excess
is the path to wisdom

I'm lucky if that's all I get
for the things I did
but the actions I have done
outway the ones I didn't
and I'm lucky to have each one

Fine blue lines
are veiled just behind the skin
but deeper than this beauty on the skin,
burning from the breast on to the page,
run fine blue lines of narrow hopes
beyond sin
