where is my focus?

now - finally - close by (?)

i sit nearer to its red heart and pray

that this fresh boat is varnished,

sealed enough - and dried

to cast a good song -

a swan song - into the fray.


changing world...

i sit with the stones now

feeling some power still

as the waves withdraw, pulling

the very core of me... back.


I scramble for cigarettes; fast food;

more sugary things - to soak in -

and the lakes -

rich and black - 

drilled -

for more dips

into caffeinated depths...


as the fire crackles on

behind the new glass.
