Kerri Shying R # 121 evolution and the man


Evolution and the man

how you want to be
the one man band
the solo man

seeing    all around those
mothers sons
adrift   unfettered  by
the trailing chain of history
family   obligation

pecked at every turn
sat today we
remembered

hands

learning how to
cross brace gates the
time spent on the
wet stone

 sharpening tools
not so simple

sometimes hurtful
taken over time

the callous
what my mother calls
proud flesh

almost makes an organelle
alone   no reason though
to blow that horn
to celebrate
necessity

and here speaks
your mother of
invention
to say

sorry   thanks you
once again
