Balloon and Anchor

life-the anchor
filled with fruitless war
sticky harlot loneliness
dirt hugging orphans
tied to the umbilical cord
then the big toe at the undertaker's Inn...
alpha to omega

life the balloon
tethered to soul at conception
sprinkled with stardust
the breath of the universe
lifting basket hearts above
dorsal fin breakers
the false prophets
the fiery fakers

life the balloon
life the anchor
