maddening hunger of kerouac in
san francisco
lone Houston frogs in the window
memories of cold
the tao of heat
heating up a miracle
smoke or fog or flood
getting work/ getting TO work
junk to eat
to get on and get by
get along
madness behind us?
smart enough
years tacked on
getting to calm
to be happy enough once there?
bussed out too busy now
down the stream
some apologies just do more damage
can you stomach silence?
bite your tongue
and don’t say
what it reminds you…
silent
hungry fire
even more to see
