a poem

"the way to home"





assembling to the moon,
he took out the lightest spoon,

and as green and blue they swooned,

to the heart that always wanted it.


there is no other reason

than taxes being too high.

there is no rhyme or reason,

no matter the season.


that is the way this seemed,

split up, but far between,

that is the way it always went,

from on stage to the frightened cat,

alive and awake, awake and well,

all is going to plan now,

all is coming out swell.


on her own in the ocean,

she had strange ideas,

about the town she grew up in,

where she had the heart of a girl.


on its way it heading,

all carved up in stone,

a clay piece with no where to go,

not a second, not more.

the time it is spinning

an hour around noon

the sun in has risen

and fills up the room.


that’s the way to the planet,

alone on the shore,

never asking for me,

with a myriad of wealth in store.
