JONAH’S L/KN/W/-IFE..




Well here I am, you lover of all whom

you brought into this world made as their  home,

to be a blessed benefit, to bloom

with sweet surprises - where each foot would roam.


I feel a dry deserted wilderness,

where order’s not appreciated for

no one is gently doting, no caress

will linger long to know the land which bore


the goodnesses which crowd into our lives.

Well here I am, reflection of your great

supportive energy which brings each rise

in hopefulness, quite faithful to your mates.


A part of me would (unlike you, the who 

would be and let, and see & then applaud

like just to pout and grump, ta martyr stews,

a sour bit a herbage pot with gourd


grown near to all the pumpkins being used.

No understandings which bring sweet re-leaf

into my stark existence. Jonah mused

maybe, when after his story was sheathed


he let a chuckle brighten up his life,

not from another serving him some more,

but as his own attention to his wife

bears fruit in little Simon’s that she bore..


and many goods as well, that crowd on in

to this small home that mirrors bigger things.

I’ll say your message. Live that life of “sin”

that sits so short of all our hopes and dreams.
