….always.

All I’s
on me.

shining white hot

——

dry wind

pushing.

dry hot wind

pushing.

hardly pushing,

nothing.

Silent.

as it gets sometimes.

peace

heated peace.

summer,

I fear you.

them.

hard.

long.

it all.

the world and make yourself happy.

the police.

softly.

quietly.

its over.

keeps you down
keeps you grimey.
all of your time sweeping
all of your time bending
all of your time wasting
wasting…
it keeps you down,
until it doesn’t.
Sing with that broom
and Dance up a Storm.
Stir up your passions
stoke the flame…inside,
stroke it.
sweep out the ash from your troubled soul
Do clean,  Do.
It is all for you
It is all from you
it has always been
you.

floating freely from the unexpected,
heaping it on, and on… and on your head.
slipping through life’s heavy roadblocks
over and under all dem hard knocks….
comes a smile, bringing trouble free mirth
escaping negativity and its ponderous girth.
so don’t you dare feel sad or mad,
trust in her and just be glad
to live.
to live.
ahhhh, so sweet…..
just
to live.

warm winter sun
kisses closed eyelids
Home,
I missed ya.
equanimity in gruff hellos
old country visitors just don’t get it.
equanimity from equality.
I
heart
apple

i look out and see you
giving the finger
to those who hate

i love you nyc
welcome ny,
back into my heart.
its so nice
so i’ll say it twice,
welcome.
