Turquoise Eagle Wings
Yesterday’s rhymes don’t work anymore — Don’t you know bro’ that we’re in another space another place. The river’s run dry The earth no longer touches the sky.

Barth
BARTH-town in Germany where my father was a prisoner of war in WWII I like to think my heart is as hard as stone, cool and glinting; tested by the upheaval of life and lives to know better than to cry for personal and planetary histories that have long gone by. And yet today I […]
