TWELVE BARS

12 BARS WITH NO ONE DRINKING,
YOU SAY YOU'LL NEVER FIND;
BUT WHEN I TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
PERHAPS YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND.
12 BARS WITH NO BRASS RAILING,
NO SHINY POLISHED TOPS,
NO TABLES OR NO GLASSES,
NO SWAMPER WITH THEIR MOPS.
12 BARS WITH NO ONE DANCING,
BATHED IN THE TINTED LIGHT
12 BARS THAT MAKE A LONELY SOBER NIGHT.
12 BARS WITH NO ONE DRINKING,
YOU SAY YOU'LL NEVER FIND;
BUT WHEN I TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
PERHAPS YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND.
THESE 12 BARS MADE OF HARD COLD STEEL
HAVE MADE MY SHORT LIFE HELL.
12 BARS ACROSS MY
CELL.

Once in the time to come

one finger
touches
a heart which holds such hope

believe
in me

be brave in me

all we know
is us

one smile so soft
one time
so brief

one another seeking love

believe
in me

be you
for me

live for the touch
that lives for you

Honey from Heaven

The fish that start as females
and turn into males.
They are called Lunset wrasses,
fairy basslets,
angelfish:

Pacific miracles
in bright sun colors, lightning blue,
or any variation, varicolored,
variegated.
They are
water versions of Be'gochidí,

Navajo son of the sun and a flower,
who could become water or sand,
wind or rainbow
or a little yellow worm, which,
when touched, leapt four times
until it became a man,
a man who spewed forth
from his mouth every sort of bee,
stinging the people until they offered
a yellow prayer stick all his own.
Honored thus, he gives the people
honey from heaven.
