45*21

the coals are viper holes
my eyes and ears aware
but what has happened
this Venus has taken more than I knew
I watch those who are virtuous
but without an ounce of humility
maybe the ears are pinned back
we have got that cross
and no one knows who
or what is scribbled on the base
now I'm another alone
with his fixation
got to get to the place
again where I'm ok
standing where I am
and absent of questions
but when you don't do it enough
that is where it ends up
two dark shadows
with little light in between
and the garden hoe
