The world's deep hunger



Put a grown, full ass man
to the ground

Night falls fast
choose your luck, when
peril pulls down fear
pulls down near
truth
certain in the first
growing by seconds
mirth, fury, and sound

Sink or swim, worth
time and place

Fantastic boost, calls
culls to build to dazzling beauty
a life-line, a sanctuary
a pillar amongst dust and sand
a port in a sea
a place of comfort in the storm
a home away from home
between water and land

On the outside edge
a sacrifice catch
but what’s the use
can’t use it here
anymore, anyway
watch it fly, fly far away

Breaks, what breaks, no breaks
damn there breaks in the pattern
was it all ever perfect
at first, still is, maybe was
always in confusions
precisions exist in ways
unrecognized, but felt
within to strive toward

Gone today
home tomorrow
between is the story

Worlds shut down as necessary
so others can come to own a breath
and scribble meaningful marks in the living memories
as every leaf hopes to grow a tree
of greater strength and persistence
and take this humble seed to a mighty tree
with nothing more than honey, sun, water, whiskey, and wind

Abide, the dude abides
time’s nonstop approach
the roots of this tree
the branches that shade the sun
grow from me
beneath this bark
focus and power grows
pungent, ripe with idea to supply a cannibal
pouring potential
like oxygen into blue blood
to force deep crimson birth

Portuguese Sailboat

pleased to say o'
the ways
you arrive
pleased
to say
your way came
a wonderful day
a spirit in time
to spirit away
far off past the
sunshine, beach break, and triple color sunset creek bay...
and the waves
the endless waves
arm an arm
along feet swing feet
a midnight walk
wet sand beach...
approach
foot tracks fall
ride run and disappear in the break,
in the shoosh and woosh of night's endless rising tide

thinking o' you
how beautiful you exist
an the smile
discovered
in the pull an tow an night.....
