This is what I get for reading too much news lately while having forests fires burn and rage 14 mile away. Or as a friend once said, "shitfuckdamnpisshell!"
Articulated Ribs
Articulated Ribs
Tightened at the joints
Chest muscles like a straight jacket
Tight at the plexus
next us
fucked up
west.
Recalcitrant bones
unwilling to let go
crunch your torso
so low
so low
you go
down.
A wing bird feather notch
landed at my feet
black raven wing bone
broken hope
dark cloud
loud
and alone.
Next us, plexus
flex thus and breath deep
gather strength
in time
sublime
breath
breath.
Door stop at the base of some heaven
leavened hope, floating home
gathering strength
and learning to breath long and deep
taking time to steep tea and breath
and breath and breath and breath
and breath and breath and breath and breath
and breath.

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
