Wish me a Sermon, Serpent Leave Me Be

I wonder where you are today. What you see.
Do you see heaven, do you see hell?
Do you see me?

Do you see something that I don’t see?
Are you in the universe forever free?
Or are you a strange fruit on a rotten tree.
Hanging there, forever.

I wish there was a greater you than me.
I am the writer; you are the key.
I am the singer; you are the sea.

I want to be Leonard, I want to be Bowie.
I want to be something, but wait don’t show me.
Let me find Something in the Way.
Like Kurt in 93.

I will be with you again someday.
I miss you,
I love you,

Buddy.
