following rocks in the stream...(.questions and notes from 2015)

Post by saw » February 27th, 2021, 5:41 pm

my chest sated with breathe
from love that lived in blood,
in the eyes and nostrils, in
the lines of history, a story

so real it cannot be denied
how did I get this fortunate
how did a mere man follow
serpentine water to find hidden joy

one normally only reads about
in cheap paperbacks found on benches
in grassy parks of the mind, stolen
books published by Abbie Hoffman lookalikes

in dreams of the counterculture of the soul
burning with the liberation of love agape
children born in that moment nurtured
in wonder of the unimageable

proud as parental peacock's instinct
to display all he has to offer the world
tell me,... How does such a bird know its power
without ever looking into a mirror
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
