David Keig Poems

They live up at the Mission
Not that far away from here
They come down in the evenings
And we give them rum and beer.
...

You are welcome to our country
When full respect is paid
To those who souls grew out from where
Their ancestors were laid
...

We had Taliban for breakfast
and then bin laden broth
some muslims ripe for dinner
i couldn't get enough
...

Heartbeat
Why do you beat when my baby kisses me?

Hearbeat
...

Will you spend some time with me, my child?
Will you spend some time with me?
Will you think about me when I’m gone?
And what will be your memory?
...

Will you walk a mile with me, my child?
Will you walk a mile with me?
Will you give some time to me, my child?
Will you give some time to me?
...

Touched with such a closeness
That could be called caress
Touched with many meanings
That could become, I guess
...

A hungered world was eating
all that God had laid before
both sinners and believers
and sad strangers on the shore.
...

We were waiting at the station
For we had a reservation
For some time that we'd spend on our own
And then all our plans for travel
...

So heavy was the air that day
So heavy was the air
So hot was everywhere that day
So hot was everywhere.
