7 Poems

Thinking on paper

to be everything that a man wishes.
death is key in the platter of dishes.
so is making sufficient money.
life is bitter and having is honey.
earth is water that betrays us, fishes.

of what use am I in the midst of men
with money, and mine is to say amen?
the support the body gets from the spine.
to me. is always more than enough sign.
that nothing comes by just shouting God when!
