3 Brothers

We stay true

To each other

As the years go by

We hold each other close

As we all learn to fly

We grow up

Get old

Tell stories

Of the once childish and bold

Brothers love

Over the years

Brothers love

And brothers tears

The Mess Up Men

The mess up men are in town

Clowning around

While most men are down

The messy situations

With no direction

How can we know

What inflection leads home

Move

And cheat

The mess up men

Move quickly on thier feet

Plant Bite

Plant bite of green envy

Down in the weeds

Feeling heavy

A syringe of venom

Tapped in summer heat

While the plant bite waits

To attack your feet

 

Innocent at Best

Innocent at best

Held up to the highest test

Fall down in easy moments

Fall away from what

You are holding

A crime of harmonious actions

Held on

While acting

Innocent at best

Guilty for sure

 

Future Up

Holding on to time

Want to make you mine

In a summer of signs

We sing together

To see together

Were we can be together

Write a poem

Paint a tree

The future is up

To you and me

Fresh Hands and Time

How do we know what we have

When we have it everyday

Then

Something gives

A loved one loses the ability to walk

We have pain in a new place

Then

It seems that we are able to understand

What we have

In living we are given

And taken away

We are free to come and go

Life changes in one quick moment

And we realize that we had

What we had wanted

So today I appreciate today

And tomorrow appreciate tomorrow

So on

One day at a time
