A Natural Condition

Yet not for water but for peace
I  Thirsted, a natural condition
My navel  in slow yawn
a second nose  agape
Through which breathes  the earth
Forever
Charlie  was in  my craw
 So I, loathed  the  stillness
Stalking  my  waters, rumbling at the  edge
But  in my navel  always  sat
The seed of resurrection

May

May  is the today I burn

And my  candle  flame tilts in the dark

May, I sit and listen

 This month of the bull

in a world that’s  really a school

must right itself today

no matter

May of the tears , may I  in the smile

climb down  from the maddening play

so bear witness  for a while                        

To  these words  i say

That you  will right yourself  on this day
