Car of the People and Poodle and Person
My first car was a 1973 a Karmann Ghia hardtop. It was gutless but I loved it.
I had it painted British racing green. Went to the JC Whitney
(paper!) catalog and purchased a wood grain shift knob, Porsche
style slotted wheel rings and real wool scotch plaid seat covers.
Salvation
Salvation
It is deep into the cold night
silver light bathes the sky and river
God is keeping two of everything
and one of me
I am a dichotomy
a symphony of joy
and a factory of sorrows
Overhead
A large vee of fowl
A plaintive squall
A trail of muffled sqwaks southbound in infinite space
Migration’s muted survival song
hymn to winter and to
falling stars
Quiet
It is dark now
I am floating in a small raft of woven reeds
I can sense the deep bottom below
as I flit like a newspaper hat toward the dawn
my fingers trace spiraling
ripples of daybreak
I am drifting toward daylight
and the salvation that it brings.
