Help Me
Kathleen Finn Jordan
out of seas of depression and tumultuous history
a soul is on its way into peril
into need to survive and somehow some way to find an exit
to continue into the future
from a present, wounded, shrapnelled yesterday
how to begin, how to navigate the seas of dark,
the air of hopeless
the drugs that make it a bit more palatable and leave one
much more chained and dammed
the Ts and As of another’s scrabble board
become the resources to fight another day
the only resources to save, to promote, to display in the picture window of the destitute and the losers
all is destruction and the need for respect and love and sleep
dominate
the smell of liquor and the floodlights of white glare blind the performer
immersing one in shades of giving up and letting go and perhaps escaping
but the how remains impossible to contemplate
Help me.
Finish me.
