Kafka Joint
I'm trying to understand,
I'm trying to forget what I understood,
I'm trying to understand why I wanted to understand it,
I'm drinking alcohol,
I'm thinking,
I have doubts about my thinking,
I'm thinking about my doubts,
Exhausted, I fall asleep.

Harbor lights
reflect in brackish water
tall, thin houses of color
reach to the black sky
yellow moon beams
ice floes ferried by wind
driven by heaving waves

Seawall shelters harbor boats
ripples dance
sea smells creep in window cracks
breathe deep
dawn, blackness dwells
boats move
fishnets stretch
motors run
boots slosh
weather chatter
off to catch
fried fish supper

Love turns to face Hate
And at the altar says
"I am yours and you are mine "
Hate doesn't respond
Knowing similar sames
And marital fate
Such similar emotions... (:
