spirit

when one continues
the math of adding one more.
the sum is greater.

drinking in happy
holding the oyster in hand.
pearls before the swine.

it’s a long goodbye
that often bears repeating.
sorrow my old friend.

with the township jive
i start feeling more alive.
homeless severed roots.

a breath of fresh air
like a slap across the face.
try being reborn.

every day justice
fighting for the lonely man.
never lose all hope.
