Estuarine Ode

Estuarine Ode

Beneath spanish moss and up in reeds

My soul runs over

moments of wonder

Communion of intentions breeds


A place unifies souls

Another tears them apart

The recursive spiral path

From tender love to brawls

Whatever longing I trace

Cools down and dies

Where the huge owl flies

And the storm takes place

Binding metal hoops sink

In a muddy tidal pool

As I emerge anew

Grieving songs unwind


Ceremonies over and over

Witness the ascending of soul

And take me past the shoal

Where reigns the plover


In mud and tide and sweat

Gnats and dust above

The juicy terroir of love

Forgiven is all debt


Spent passions fertilize

The ground I walk on

In mud I bury the carrion

All things the tide equalize


New structures sprout

Over good old bones

While a solid form arises

A bird of prey comes out


On a ocean journey I go

Transforming once again

All the crap I am carrying

Away I vow to throw
