DESIRED BREAD
There is no pondering
Of anything
When one is alone
And in need of someone
To satisfy an aching desire
In thought and in word and
In deed;
That is why
There was made
The Eucharist
So our loneliness and desire
God might feed.

NO RIDING.
I am answering ‘no’
To too many thoughts
That go passing
Before my inner eye.
Life should be
More of a greeting
And a welcome
Than a negative,
See you later
Or goodbye.
That time will come
When I leave it
All behind and
I close my eyes and ears
And finally die.
Until then
I want to ride
The flowing current
Or soar on it
As I try my best
To fly.

DOG DO.
I am tired
Of the sight and the smell
Of my own crap,
So I put up with
The likes of
Yours and you;
Because I know
Deep in my heart
We all are sinners
And losers and
In the end
That crap is the best
We each can do.

PAWN.
Some days I got it.
Some days I don’t.
Some days I’ll do it.
Some days I won’t.
Seems like it’s not mine;
More like it’s loaned;
I guess it doesn’t matter
If I am burned or
If I am stoned.

DEEP CONCESSION.
Yesterday, I thought
No one was taking care of me;
Today, it seems
I have everything I need;
Overnight, I must have felt
The depths of my frustration
And learned how
In my heart
To life
To concede.

ALL OF ME.
Rest assured
I never will forget you
Because I gave to you
The better part of me
With my hand and heart and
Mind and soul
Always open to you;
How could you not
Forever be a part
Of my memory.
