~letters from the monastery~
#30: ~feathers in the grass~

~I am struck by the feather of your soft reply~
                                                         ~Jim Morrison~

~the bluebird carries the sky on his back~ 
                                                      ~Nietzsche~

~we're not in Wonderland anymore Alice~
                                             ~Charles Manson~

~leave no black plume as a token~
                                                   ~Poe~

~bullets & feathers together~
                             ~WordWulf ~

~feathers in the grass~

~stones in the driveway~
~& cigarette butts~
~wonder who put ‘em there~
~was it the woodpecker~
~whose incessant pounding~
~on the gable of the house next door~
~would give anyone else a headache~
~I don’t think so~
~the smallest of those stones~
~would be too much for the woodpecker to carry~
~& cigarette butts aren’t its style~

~the coal train on approach~
~earthquake of the snake~
~growls deep~
~electromagnetic~
~four engines in front~
~two behind~
~a hundred & thirteen cars between them~
~pushed & pulled~
~wheels groaning~
~riding the rails~
~clickety-clack~
~smashing my pennies~
~feeding my spirit~
~cross tie walkin’~
~pick ‘em up~
~lay ‘em down~
~put ‘em in your pocket~
~you silly assed hoary-headed boy~

~wishing & praying for miracles~
~is not a waste of time~
~it is an investment in the future~
~a testament~
~avowal of faith~
~a requiem to lost love~
~a whispered cry to be found again~
~we are the cricket singing~
~the coyote howling lonely for its mate~
~a tumble-me-down in giggles~
~simple & innocent children of earth~
~a tender-moment awaiting a kiss to seal~
