poetry

sunset at Spot X

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

sunset at Spot X

clouds split sun to beams
of heavy late afternoon light

just like the cover
of a Christian rock album
she says

someone’s trying to tell
someone something

are you listening?

poetry

priorities

priorities

sadly no superhero
tonight I carve out hours
in the blue-black dark
searching for a living reef
with nesting birds
a responsible skipper
adequate shade
and a tiny pricetag

and tomorrow I still won’t have
six-pack abs
