the road had gotten all rich in rocks, and the new car my kids bought me was bouncing up and down the road, like a bad dream, the water came and surrounded the house for a few days- the weather decides what you do- after the bridge you will see a second road-
the sign says 'locals only' in a sad plywood tone-river just flowed up and around all our lives ..and sometimes those things change you forever..the one who you thought you were saving
saved you
so many times
the little girl became a woman in my eye- and handed me her son to hold
my heart relaxed
i heard someone say that these things would save my life, love, honor, integrity, honesty.that road bumped me right in to honorability- this sacred place where no one but the ones that know you and love you can find you.
the ones that haunt you with desires are just what they are.
the endless lists of what they want for me is more like what they want from me
the baby that i prayed into existance with some other good loving souls was born yesterday- the mom is sure she is healed.the man no one ever thought would be anything is rising to the occassion. the old wife is heart broken
for some reason, she does not want them to be happy
i do not know why they like to build you up to tear you down
i hide here-unless i go to town
sun rose so hot and blazing
on the road thinking of the years gone by
the way i had to see is amazing

A deep river of emotion and poetic prose. Quite a wonderful to read tonight.
