Sails

"Sails" Running along the cliff edge like dirt music racing sharks in the shallows he wrote his messages on walls tall ships breezing in the sales torn pages pinned to the flip side walking the floors of Freedom recording notes moving his fingers along the day like he’s playing the keys of a piano the words and music of his life flying swiftly away like blackbirds in his brain a tall ship pushing through towering waves broken mast mended he's a captain at the wheel; a Kingfisher watching over him hidden high in the sails (LadyLabyrinth / 2023) sales. sails. freedom.
