sweet leisure
in the republic of Texas
kind winters

Pall Mall nights
I will quit when my wheeze comes back
so round so firm
I had to pick it up

not so much a new years resolution
as a life wish
I wish my words would stand

too lazy to paint
light upon water bottle
still life in real life

i was numb yesterday
i could feel my cells churning
I am a new man
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

within the photo
hints and blatant truths
reminder to look

within 50 miles of me
no toads moving
snow
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

the rain stopped
but the sun still hides
gray eve
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

sounds, smells, visions, chances

you may end up where you are heading

christmas ritual...
brandenburg concertos
trailer park boys

and once the sun has set...
a stone goblet of mead

bright steel cold
December day
in a winter of content

last night's buzz
this morning's sleepy eyes
mind lost in transit

Christmas has gone
the hype has fallen short
once again
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Nighty Nite Tea
laced with honey
warm heart thankful
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
