waited waited weighted waiting time winding or hind spying on the rind the edge the cusp of release a torrent of baffled souls set paintings adrift on floating floral swirls out of the moisture a steam emerges wet thick air drafted light on the table at night drafted sight on the twisting vine and over the back side a drift continues misting but its not wild wolf saunter strutting eyes blazing wild wolf not alone a cohort waiting wild wolf un guarded will is washing wild wolf cubs around a tumbling frenzy wild wolf blood on maw a feed a tasting old wolf looking seeking eyes are fading old wolf all alone a mouse in waiting old wolf on guard a fire lit lately old wolf none around a laid path bathing old wold oh stomach drawn and withered glancing it’s raining

dont push the river dont push push the river he gets all misty eyed and far off looking when and then and then throwing a tad echo endowed front and came clean through endowed behind on the line on the line wave crash mind lashed and tinged tender pod opens in the sun lost the plot sing song rock song falling like a rock cured like a block of clay in the sun in the sun soaring like a large bird basic thrust one must one must muster the bluster to thrust to change and arrange drawing signs in the dust lost the plot ding dong ring long slow tone falls each trickle of water falls in the clouds in the clouds scoring the earth mighty millipede made of crust one must one must muster the habit to trust it turns on a hinge a door to a world over there the way a woodpecker’s head darts in and out of a dark hole in bark head on a swivel checking all corners to make sure of safety and smart I allow I allow cords lifted from my neck that had been wound tight tied up from the black lace underneath frog song mid morning coloquial wind sword fish I allow I allow

sun struck 02:22
out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck I'm crappin' corn and jello and I'm scorned sittin' here on my seat, it's thorns I see an owl, it's horned I see some jello in my belly belly mellow I see some jello in my belly belly mellow and I'm torn I'm torn out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck I saw my cat friend forming a loaf outside the sliding door hunched and loafed almost praying eyes closed praying, I can tell, praying for me to come out I walked to the computer to type the noticed moment I am here now typing about this noticed moment burning numb she’s so wonderful so kitty I will now go to her and hold her a precious cat friend will be held today and stroked in just the way she likes out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck
