it’s a stare-roid –
with a big wheel to steer,
into the clear.
puffs of smoke,
in shapes like a ghost –
in a believe it,
carry the light,
and be a scrappy happy –
make like grappling
the rocks from the mountains,
throughout the centuries,
clinching to pieces,
in the mix of a mason’s heart,
as if pressing the air and the rust
into preservation’s mortar,
in a get lost in a rustic song
feeling the bonds of life –
make like unification’s
become a strength of achievement.
