~letters from the monastery~ #30: ~feathers in the grass~

 

~I am struck by the feather of your soft reply~

~Jim Morrison~

 

~the bluebird carries the sky on his back~

~Nietzsche~

 

~we're not in Wonderland anymore Alice~

~Charles Manson~

 

~leave no black plume as a token~

~Poe~

 

~bullets & feathers together~

~WordWulf ~

 

~feathers in the grass~

 

~stones in the driveway~

~& cigarette butts~

~wonder who put ‘em there~

~was it the woodpecker~

~whose incessant pounding~

~on the gable of the house next door~

~would give anyone else a headache~

~I don’t think so~

~the smallest of those stones~

~would be too much for the woodpecker to carry~

~& cigarette butts aren’t its style~

 

~the coal train on approach~

~earthquake of the snake~

~growls deep~

~electromagnetic~

~four engines in front~

~two behind~

~a hundred & thirteen cars between them~

~pushed & pulled~

~wheels groaning~

~riding the rails~

~clickety-clack~

~smashing my pennies~

~feeding my spirit~

~cross tie walkin’~

~pick ‘em up~

~lay ‘em down~

~put ‘em in your pocket~

~you silly assed hoary-headed boy~

 

~wishing & praying for miracles~

~is not a waste of time~

~it is an investment in the future~

~a testament~

~avowal of faith~

~maybe a requiem to lost love~

~a whispered cry to be found again~

~we are the cricket singing~

~the coyote howling lonely for its mate~

~a tumble-me-down in giggles~

~simple & innocent children of earth~

~a tender-moment awaiting a kiss to seal~
