~1000 Days~

~that’s what my brother named years spent in prison~
  ~I’ve been tossed in jail a few times in my life~
  ~no down time like him~
  ~twenty-eight years~
  ~God damn~

~Day 998~
  ~Down Time~
    
~a person learns it is wise~
  ~to take life in small steps~
  ~my family has stood witness~
  ~to instances of stumbling~
  ~running downhill on my part~
  ~embarrassed perhaps~
  ~they love me still~
  ~and I~
  ~for my part~
  ~each & every one of them~
  ~it is as if failure confirms us~
  ~defines the difference~
  ~as we look into their eyes~
  ~friends & family~
  ~whose spirit eyes reach~
  ~& those that look away~
