In need of more repairs

In need of more repairs

The spirit is broken

Wading in the wallows

To willow not oaken

Growth and change are messy

Not purchased goods or thrift

Work in navigation 

The choice to not just drift

The painted light is here

The painted light is here

Under leaves silver white

Shadows strolling in blue

The sun a stringless kite

Horizon curtains soon

Will close across the sky

The dipper stars will wink

As questions multiply

In a virga sorrow

In a virga sorrow 

Rain that never washes

The useless umbrella

The dusty galoshes 

Feel the weight of weary

The hidden needs of roots

The ground water promise

No landing parachutes 

A cul de sac ending

A cul de sac ending

Day after day spiral

Gastropod creations

Geriatric vial

Slowly the water boils

It is too late to jump

Out of the cooking pot

And the deep hammock slump

How distant it becomes

How distant it becomes

Ashes can’t burn again

Arms full of kindling wood

To light the now not when

Living in the sunrise

The gift of a new day

The unchartered and wild

Is just one step away

Passing threads without knots

Passing threads without knots

Lost button, falling star

The world traveler or

Lightning bug in a jar

Days looking like statues

The changes are within

The same fingerprint but

Not the feelings herein

Vibrant velocity

Vibrant velocity 

Dreams in real time racing

From Canal Street to Park

The trains not outpacing 

Oranges in the market

Scavenger hunt list find

Joe Jackson’s Steppin’ Out

Is not just state of mind
