Thinking Of Merwin
3-6-17

Selfhood is dependent
On the God that drives you to seek out yet more
Thinking of Merwin
Shake it free and go there soon
And get what you need
Don't forget the trashbags and the laundry soap
Sustaining to erode and in the morning restore
For works done in the temporal body
Our tent that one day will be repudiated by a mansion
Trying to downsize my study space
And set a limit on the books opened
For my moon beneath my feet
He dreams of writing reams
To the rabble-rout
It is given him...




To Filthiness
3-6-17

With all diligence keep what you have heard and seen
In me and in you
Desirable above all other fruits
Such as my rotting grapefruit moldy undaunted
See me through a long and lovely night
See my through today
Here is wisdom to he whom can calculate the number of a man
Parenthetic to lead me onto togetherness
By filthiness preferred for the filthy still
Someone to hold my hand to chastening
And to the calling with God right over there
In one hour I pray for a breakthrough
Save me a song
God give me another victory....




Keep On Digging
3-6-17

Moving on up to open a window in heaven
Let it all go the way it does
In Nephi did exhort
The seeker to keep on digging
For sterling gold
Good God bless the garbage man and rise
Like the Phoenix
To perish upon ones mother's pyre
Born with back against a wall
In days of probation
My officer is yet to be hot in heaven
When the time is right
Without distinction of social class
Reduced to almost zero
In the memory of those
Whom tried to see
And high ambition
Spurring us on now....
