Dorsey Baker Poems

He left his children
all his land
his big house
his classic book collection
...

Baby lets live life
like its just
a moment in the passage of time
Lets just let life know
...

Next time you come around
beautiful butterfly
I'm gonna catch you
and make you mine
...

He sits out back
on the patio
in his favorite
patio chair
...

When death sneaks in
the heart has no beat
the voice has no sound
the body stiff and still
...

Finally freed
Finally walking away
half his lifetime
tucked behind
...

When you back track
all you get
is the same 'ol hand me downs
When you back track
...

Baby my wounds
don't get time to heal
before you start to
inflict
...

Baby we've got each other
and each other
is all we need
Baby aint we
...

Its hallucinating
it is pollinating itself
spreading itself
wider
...
