Gars as Big as Boats, Blood in the Mud.

by Jörmundgandr

June 30, 2015

With eyes like

Cameras

Spitting shuttering

Closing capturing

Moments

Lost forever in

Waves of murkish

Browns and blues-

While gars as big as boats

Beat on against the waves

Praying on fat bass

And blood

Inking-

Drowning

My pen in currents

Of summer sun

Etching it's warmth

Onto my

Skin

Burning it

Lobster reds

And making hard to

Get out of

Bed.

A son

And

A father

Paddle like Vikings

Stroke

Faster! We must beat the

Clouds promising

Heavy rains

Which with it

Brings torrents of

Hunger

And I remember my

Brother

Eating nothing but bread

And mustard

Saying bologna

Is nothing but

Horse cock.

I remember my love

Who is suffering

Alone

Somewhere

Trying so hard

Make

Just another day.

But as the shadows

grow over

Ahead

I just pull my line

And toss it back

To the waves

Of brown and blood.
