He pushed his 300-pound body
as father withdrew
way back to the Delaware
to Thunder Road and Wounded Knee
...
Brother Jesse thinks he’s black
You and I know better than that
Brother George thinks he is white
You and I know that’s not right
...
Flecks of wisdom in my beard
Short gray hairs twisting weird
Reminding me of days long past
When life for me went by too fast
...
absurdity reeks
sun bleached shore to mountain peak
apathy now speaks
...
thursday night folly,
the weekend hard on my heels;
monday morning death
...
Watchful walk through woods
Reveals ecological
Majesty…martyred
