the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all.              killer transients.              people and whales.              he needed to see his son smile              & he did.              a blue-trucked boy, hometown hero.              he loved to fight              & he fought to love.              died in afghanistan for the pentagon boys.                           blame them. bomb them.              submerge your vestigial limbs in days and home              & simple mammalian living.              wage and pray.              little hours.              little sweet nothings.              people and whales fall older.              think. write. ferment.              the good deep.              the hottest blood of all.
