Wake Every Beast

Honed every skill

tried every trick

combed every street

woke every beast

crossed every sea

tossed every dice

ate every lie

licked every wound

paid every dues

played every tune

dealt every card

took every chance

knocked every door

fought every dog

ticked every box

yet

for all my efforts

a harvest of winds

but

I keep pressing on

unrelentingly
