Cilhuat'

 my cat is tiger

a pillow with a razor

ouch! watch your ankles

quatro-

 talking in my sleep

that time we were camping out

slumber in the breeze

trois

 gone forever wife

a crane over the water

your shadow remains

two (backyard)

 

two little red birds

fluttering brightly as flames

my heart thinks of you

#1

 curvy wooden box

humming through cyclopic eye

I popped the B string

Honky Buddha

 In these times

we walk in shadows

or in glorious light

the position of the Sun

meaningless

 compared to the 

compass

within us.

This truism, uninspiring

    and dull as the wet 

warnings in a public

     toilet,

replete with low quality

graphics,

      is one of the only

   fixed things pinning 

us to life.

 "Nothing Lasts Forever"

can give us

            Hope

            Despair

            Contentment

            Fortitude

            Joy

            Improvisation

            Daring

  - a shopping list of life's little fingers and teeth.

        

San Pedro

 

We were walking to the haji mart

 when we found a baby on the ground

at first we thought 

he was a doll, a very realistic

doll,but

no dice.

You didn't know

what to do,but

bless him, i did from that

time when i thought things were

going to work out

he was in a nest of brown

paper bags his skin

was just a shade

brighter

naked little chicken

I took off my shirt

and rolled him into it

he was so cold

when i saw his eyes

and he saw mine

i held him to my naked chest

and damn me

if he didn't latch on

you said we should call

somebody

you're right i said, 

but just the same i 

could not put him down.
