he who knows
a father need not judge
you are the one who
does that to yourself
prison walls built
in that sand castle
of a mind
washing away
as the sun returns the sea
to claim your heart
and free you from
your chosen binds
who is behind your mask
she makes love pointfree
he smiles with eyes like dew
they try it on for size
and let go to make room
that name you’ve
long forgotten
for that whole of you
the tree’s roots in its sea
and the fish knows
the truth of me
so it goes
to the smiling boy
with but one plea
and with each dusk & each dawn
promising
promising
