Early time of day, just a short time after low tide,
Water almost calm, gentle waves lapping the shore,

In the back of my head, in the garden shed,
I see him as clearly as fresh white paint:
A little boy sat on the creosote floor, 
Dragged grazed knees hugged up to his chin, 
So familiar,...

Mountain peak height piercing the sky
	brushing its peak black clouds roll
piercing lightning does flash and thunder does roar
	cold heavy rain drops begin there to fall

Hot barren rocks quenched by its fall

How fitting that the band’s name derived from Aldous Huxleys’ treatise
‘The Doors of Perception’ that purely aesthetic philosophical story of 
life through the window and door I suppose of psychedelia and drugs

My old bones swayed to the old tune
bringing back memories long forgotten.
My spirit rejoiced in exultation
of a ne'er forgotten loving excitation.

Florida Ziziphus (For the Ode To the Endangered Contest Sponsored By: Amy Green)
Spiny stemmed buckthorn, sunlight shimmers tiny shiny leaves.
Even though in pastures you are mowed down like worthless sheaves.
Ziziphus celata, your family for thee still grieves.
Future exposure:  progress, genes raped; developments’ deeds.

I woke up this morning
wondering where I was last night

The Hill
Mystical the old Hill standing
Over it thick mist hazing
Kids, we were at its foot playing
In a large green meadow dallying

Heedless, innocence enjoying
The Hill’s slopes utterly ignoring
In youths, up we were growing
The Hill in our eyes...
