Let Me Go Mama

Mama, let me alone on this hillside a while.
I been walking the night away, my talkative sweat
grown wetter than I can say as these words of mine
turn loose and spill out like a day’s sacramental wine.
I ain’t ever for lack of trying to say how
to struggle up slope where the rocks fall away
and disrupt all that tumble below.

I think to hear you any minute, dished out
as insistence is smacking shut. Go on and sermon,
some words are useless: fallow fields, cows that won’t calve
though the company’s plenty good. It don’t matter today.
I want to sit for myself and fall talking, right down,
roll like rocks to a white rushing creek.
I want to just roll, and stay just where I land.

~JB~
