It ain't easy, Babe

Who do you think you are,
judging my sexuality,
my reality?
I am doing the best I can,
do, actually
with the cards I was dealt
in this worldly,
this present reality
And it ain’t easy, Babe
It ain’t easy Babe.

mazy and dazy

sister mary is from kentucky,
I wasn't raised with mary
she's my father's and his second wife ~ Glady's kid.
I adored Gladys ~ we called ourselves mazy and dazy,
good friends,
used to dress up in wild stuff when I was sixteen,
in Chicago.
mary was just a kid.
her mom's gone,
mine too.
now sister mary and I dress up
like mazy and dazy
do.

Patience

Patience requires long suffering

Suffering is a deep river

It is worn on cuffs

of white shirts

unclean

running deep into bones

on frames holding guts
loosely under skin covering

Highway South

Just got to thinkin’ about the Highway south

How long a ride twill it be?

Maybe a thousand

Maybe two

I’ll drive two thousand and three

just to be with you,

just to be with you

rollin'

Like a Train...she keeps on rollin',
rolin' like a river
as long as we're apart
Now I stand by the station,
stand by the station with my heart
rollin', rollin'

The Well

The Well


the hole inside keeps getting bigger

deeper

you were the keeper
of the well

the cup I could fill into

with my soul, bare

in contrast I wonder

how 

when I dip into it

now

I do not come up
dry

the water brims fuller

into it

overflowing

its sides
