The Lake
(after Alphonse de Lamartine)

Oh, this beautiful lake! The year has hardly...

The channel islands off the coast
of California were my home
on weekends sailing with my dad
on glassy seas, on froth and foam.

On Fridays after work he’d head
to Catalina on the wind.
Sometimes, the trips were fast and...

What better place than here
to be 

To stop drop anchor and rest aboard
my floating throne and dotted

feeding me grapes of wrath

And take in all of this ethereal world's

Commercial season in its full swing
boats afloat dot foggy harbor scene
	we're off like a prom dress
	let's catch a mega-mess

Wish 'em up! Catch 'em up! Bend the rod!
tease with the herring, but...

Ebbed men and numbers to call

Disguised in the madness 
Tucked under this sadness
Peeling at the corners, twirling mad with the wind
The things that are
And the way things are not
Defy all...

To seize the day with just the right bait

Though anxious, I wait patiently 
For opportunity to bite and run

from the sandy bottom
up periscopes 
from depths,
hidden in the sea 
of thoughts,
through an ocean

my rising sun
as my waters swell
a saviour,
my soul motions

drifting a wave,
dreaming 
beautiful sunshine
drop anchor,
paradise with...
