All Saint's Day

polish the rind
suck the wind
stumbling
fog braced
dead rat sideways tired on sidewalk gray
sea beacons
slime green
no
shoes
just walking out there
rocks
in
pocket
gathering speed

Refreshed after an extra hour of sleep I feel pretty good today. So I am going to be reading some exceptional poems today. Thank you for sharing yours with us Thomas. Love, Carol
