in the corner stands
the man getting boots polished.
a glimpse of time gone.
shore pain
sliver my finger.
a divot wells with red blood.
sir pain swims ashore.
windsong
rustle leaves forthwith.
whispers on wind sing of fall.
this key i can’t sing.
hard fought
there’s a school of thought.
better to be paid than bought.
freedom won hard fought.
hard to swallow
she swallows down hard.
bone gets stuck, marrow bitter.
politics of meat.
crackling dawn
the crackling of dawn.
smashes to splinters my dreams.
blood on horizon.
