Nightly

Jason Molina project

“I’m more afraid of the god in me
than the god you pray to nightly”
-Jason Molina

song: Pass (click to open song)

poem:

Nightly

The deity inside
tearing you up
egging you on
are you god?
or are you ego?
It’s not enough
to call it either.
The sum of you
The all of you
that you fear.
The capabilities of a man.
The ability of you.
love
hurt
cry
hate
You’ve dealt out all the cards
laid them on the table.
flush, straight, pairs
everything but a full house.
You are not
a stay-at-home man.
The road calls you
The dream always just
a next turn away.
The deity inside you
urges you onward
and feels
nothing
for turning you away.
