~Brother~ (p.1)

You say you come from
A dirt road.

I say you are
Of the Earth;
Lungs filed with fire
That could never exhale memories
Like dust.

I say
You are more than
The sum of unknown origins;
More than
Tarred dreams,
Empty bottles,
Smoke,
Mirrors,
Razor blades and tourniquets.
More than mystery
&
Ether.

You are my Dark Prince,
Who drags the Moon
Down from the Heavens
Each night
To swallow it whole.
My Dark Prince,
Crowned by the Sunrise
Ever present at his back.

And I am…
Proud of you.
Like a Father.
Love…
Protect…
And whisper prayers for you.
Like Brother,
Friend,
And Spirit.
