off the 33 side of good morning
down to the tan man place
where the gulls play darts
with silver mouthfuls
and a black dog digs for his mind

my cowboy sandals are friendly
making toe stories in the warm
walking is beneath me usually
but today it is just my shadow
that looks up to me as a god

there is a tree out there on dawn
can see her from every morning window
when she bathes in the june gloom
and leaves her nude side damp
when she slow dances with ol' breezy

and puts eucalyptus smells on my shirt
then makes me run along lonely
howling with the dogs
something about satiation and satan
the wanna haves and the keep aways

that keeps old men young man crazy

A number of wonderful lines in this. I liked:

"and a black dog digs for his mind"

"but today it is just my shadow
that looks up to me as a god"

"when she bathes in the june gloom
and leaves her nude side damp
when she slow dances with ol' breezy"

You have a unique voice that speaks to all She, in a way that He envies.
