Refreshed

Refreshed in the breaking dam of my soul uncurled restless river spinning like wrought cast iron

handles spin, rusted but worn smooth canyon

how I love thee--Damn, OK, got you.

Take my knee my hand my fist

wrap it up in an angry kiss didn't you know

poison and perpetual motion go

hand in hand to the medicine land

where rabbits run to and fro

baby zebras zipping across the plains

chased by lions

once again you know

I held you in mind

half twisted like that wrought cast iron

a tiny flower peeking through the gates

stop don't make me wait

there's a giant river a waterfall about to fall over the edge

I'm in a raft

a small thing

a tiny kitten

a ball of string

fling me into Niagra Falls, baby.
