recompense , recompense (157)

cozy night fireplace glow , side by side
not a deaf ear to the urging 

night before the saints march in

recompense , recompense

NO 
LONGER
A
DRY
LEAF

the hum brisk 
tundra en route 

gulfstream / mainstream / civilization dream 

recompense , recompense

I 
AM
STILL 
HERE

Fist print on the wall 
dry walled scar

arms heavy with lead

recompense , recompense
