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.
