Hurricane Island

life 
arrives in steady sweetened drops
a slow saute
slowely turning the face 
to
a gilded seam of ivory,
death 
comes in paceless buckets,
turns the heart into a raft
(what happened to those concrete friends)
spinning in a whirlpool
of black alley regrets-

in the end
all gather in a stagnant pool
the abomination 
the miracle
cherry wood feathers
flecks of concrete
wisdom wearing a fools tiara...
a collage of friday crossword puzzles
colliding like rabid marbles
echoing hopeless and hopefull
beneath the rough rouged eye 
of a vagabond god,
flesh and soul
(x and y axis)
hand in hand 
atop hurricane island 
conche shells to salty lips
blowing slow and silent
