Flashes 10

Title
for a novel:
The Prince Of Poop Valley

“Poetry is not a careful thing—
poetry is lamb dust”
—Jack Kerouac

A clear spot
where the stress falls:
hunger

Try not to let
the greedheads
rape your heart of love

*

"Once you’ve said it—
say it again
(with different words)"

Depression:
opportunity
to be a hero

Feeling this
living music
flowing through you now

*

Death:
the means for being
born into one’s origin

I learn more from birds
than from words
of learned men
