Thunder heralded change
Clouds knew before
Me that today
Would mark newness
To my knees
But once again
Bleeding and weary
Up I stand
One more time
Or as many
Times it takes
Strength does not
Stand with those
Swinging the whip
It stands instead
With those capable
Of withstanding it
Bring about anger
Despair and pain
For my heart
Feels not that
Instead it beats
Hope and change
For better things
When I give
You my heart
I will also
Give you a
Hammer if you
Cannot break it
Have it you
Simply will not
Let’s see now
I’ve got keys
Wallet sunglasses watch
Sandals sunscreen shorts
Shirts underwear socks
Pants cigars lighter
Cutter one red
One white corkscrew
Jacket and hat
The only thing
Missing you Bean
There’s morning chill
Buzzing around me
Like plump bumblebees
God’s blue eye
Peeks through soupy
Gray clouds winking
Like attracted teenagers
Bundled in cardigan
Throwing open doors
Far off lilacs
Rush in bathing
Me in sweet
Aromatic mid-summer smell
Odors of coffee
And buttered toast
Join me here
Like old friends
Bringing me comfort
Knowing wherever you
Are you’re doing
The same things
Seeing the same
Smelling the same
Just as me
Sky

Doze
