Four Photos and a Poem

I’ve not really be all that productive/creative lately. I’ve had a tiny spurt. We’ll see where this goes.







And here is the poem…


      	baptized in
      	the mud
     of main street
     mother's milk

      	from dust storms
eyes caked
      	and coughed
rich
      	soil for weeks

	these open skies
	bleed wet,
     skeleton
	hang flesh

for everything is
stagnant or stale

     inside
     i kept
     secrets
from
rain

	every drop
		cursing

     promises i
     never made
	she kept
	and found
avenue to
path

rails 	between
	raindrops

should we
follow this line
     through contour of
 	land
through twelve
miles of kansas
     eight states
     away three
	hours

bathed in the blood
of desert rain
clouds screaming fire
	drying eyes
held hands fast
	to this
concrete
ribbon a lifetime
