HOBO POET BLUES

The sky turned dark The poet built a fire & warmed his hands Worms crawled thru His skin& angels Cried & moments Slipped pass like Lavendar melting The Santa Fe Chief & coyote serenaded The wanderer Remembering Your hot breath Cascading like Moonlight on His back

That piece was co-written by Steve Mcdaris who pieced together bits of poems written by the two of us. It was issued in a chapbook that I don't believe I ever saw.
