 Sep 2013 Iron Butterfly
Showman
Right by the house with the samurai wearing the green swim goggles.
You passed out
Right by Beach Ave
Happened three weeks ago today.
Your still wearing the hospital bracelet.
All life, all understanding;
gift.

When you lean into wisdom,
you find her shoulder soft and warm.
She’ll have you as long as you
stay with her.

Her perfume is peace,
her touch candlelight,
her sense a river.

Hers is the only gaze
steady enough to see you
through.


She’ll hold you
as long as
you stay with her.

— The End —
