Crushed Lotus

the singers clamor o’er there

a tiger trapped in a cage

once I raised a puma that ran away

freed from the reign of stupid men

I don’t need your permission to plant seeds

a tree grows from my left shoulder

as a garden is planted on my right



the sun passed by the church

a babbling brook came crashing from

the neighbor of the womb



open skyline owned by no one

we hug as they choke on needles

park life stapled on the closed church doors

For every day that we are above ground that makes it a blessed day.

an apology is different than making amends.

to keep a friend
you must be a friend

narrower the road

people only jump ship when the captain is out to lunch.

"on the chopping block"
