A Brief Life History





It sways when the wind blows
then it stops, and it flows,
glazing pancakes for a living.

Misty fields echo, and silence takes a breath
exhaling disrupting the dead from their rest
waking the new with a fresh start
sailors’ only friend, is the calling before the storm.

With a powerful sway, the dance begins
no warnings of such an event,
although there is wiggle room,
tributaries forming from birth
to old age, if you know my background
you would know I’m elaborate
with everything I do.

Raised in a box and fed like a slave,
tough faded-pink skin, slaughtered,
into a salty strip.
