a drowning man sees
the depth of his own dark seas.
fathoms the unknown.
cast die
a man must be forged
in the furnace of his mind
lest he die empty.
dust remembers
under umbrellas
couples watch the world get wet.
with skin dry as dust.
mind full
a gaunt man once said
best a full mind than stomach.
his growls belied him.
piss ton
a red hat riding
on top of a red road bike.
legs like pink pistons.
soft soles
the soft sound of rain.
like the patter of small feet.
soles of sad angels.
