100 Crooked Footsteps

Early in the morning
And insatiable 
A drifter on the dock
Washes what was once 
The stain of love.

100 crooked footsteps
I flounder
Under the hail
From beach to door

With a painful thrust
I dream of Julie
As branches danse
To a witches brood

I shake a stick
And ask what am I
Am I not happy?
I am of age

Yet beauty’s fatal kiss
Docks itself
100 crooked footsteps
From my door

Crow faster
Crow stronger
