Logan Gilley Poem
Catfish wears his straw
hat
sits on the front porch
cussing
He feeds along
the bottom of the creek
gathering what he can
for supper
Sings his song.

Logan Gilley Poem
Lord, let me be
free, walking
along the spine of the earth
no longer subject
to these toothless
fears.

Logan Gilley Poem
Don't pretend you
wear armor.
I know that is only
a set of scales.
I know how you
feed along the river's
bottom.

Logan Gilley Poem
Check out the Gadzooks
on that one
the nasty boys say
I say go to your corner
and cry
like the children you are
Come back out
when you have grown up.

Logan Gilley Poem
Why should I care
for your tiny ideas
of what it means to be
Why should I care
if you section me
off
The challenge
is to freely simply be.

Logan Gilley Poem
She thought she'd
hit the jackpot
Until she saw the price
that had to be paid
So she went back
and rummaged through
the sale again.

Logan Gilley Poem
She's an oddity
They say
But I don't care
I am who I am
I am creation
purity and urge
I am magic and fire
and heart and reason.

Logan Gilley Poem
I press the word
to find what juice
is inside
No idea can hide
as I press down
firmly
Sucking the sentence
for its worth.

Logan Gilley Poem
My uncle Harry
paints with his own brush.
He tells me what's
beautiful about life.
I watch him splash
on color
until a tree becomes real.

Logan Gilley Poem
He says
what she doesn't know
won't hurt her
I say violence
can be swift and hidden
and do damage
Just the same.
