In the midst of myself I see all a named through a blame of crystal ball garbage self imposed heaps of anarchic monumental fever itches slowly coalescing compost inflaming frolicking one step beyond destitute drowned drained primal ascents like muted strands of character counts contents--a sugary benign bene-violence renewed every 4th year by death trite trickery, bumming freedoms long necked, sticky fingered bullet borrowed Bogart abandoners like cool coup indifferentials-----hangless gyrations coordinated catastrophizes counter culture aberrations seeming short changed a dimes worth of democracy voices foot and mouth disease we move through dead brain catheters dreaming of cellular open ranges of slack composures minus politico contractual ill tongued bilateral lobotomy laden binormals laying waste to unsecured raptures---dicey yet decidedly temporary but elipticaliplapsing any Gods forgiving truth and moral divergence by appetite arbitration. Hence a gamely time of fecal folly foot loose and fancy toe tag free---------all's well that entrails well.
Holiday Bows
Red, green and especially blue.
Wrapping and trimmings just for you.
I love things in colors for the season,
Please Lord, give me a long list,
give me a reason.
Not that money grows on trees,
but the needs are far beyond the forest.
The bread that cooks in the oven this night,
must feed as many as those that waited to hear the Lord.
Humbly bless the rise, the warm oven and the hearts…
of all those that come to share.
Faces of little kids, composures the likeness of the old.
To many truths too soon.
Lord cover the feast the festival with your spirit,
Let the glow show beyond the limits of the fire,
past the shadows of fear and into the darkness.
Simple trappings that bring us close.
Traditions that have histories.
