I heard him first
in inner ear
goosebumps of
there's-someone-near

I knew him as my own heartbeat--
like ground beneath the bare of feet.
I saw him without seeing eyes,
and wished I had not compromised.

Should have waited
pounded brain.
But I debated metronome.
I wish I had anticipated
flesh-and-bone
I could call home.

fastinating phrases but I have to admit I don't understand it. I don't know if it's because it's too late in the evening or if it's just me and I'd never understand it.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

is compromise

of
most things
sigh

It's good to be in the South, again.
