take a deep breath and clear your mind
but i'm in a smokey room here
i'm afraid of respiration
i can't make it to the door
not long to see the moon
through dust storms without lightning
i have lived through one or two
and i think ill see another
at the river bend
the water keeps its way down
keeps the wind clear from the smoke
keeps the mind from knots
***
Camels share a single cup.
***Giraffes glide through trees with grace.
***
I walk the line.
