In Saying Son

Such a human form,
This love will cover us.

Searching a human form
This love lost interest
To petty crimes or deeper flaws.
An inquest relinquished,

Therefore,
I love your arrogance,
I love your gall.
I love your meanness,
Your disinterested yawn;

Your self serving speeches
And your pages in tune,
Your mornings, your evenings,
Your nights and your noons.

Wrapped up to the neck
And waiting with baited breath,
Directive held firmly,
Each step unto the next.

I see you running around to each of everyone's houses.
I watch you peeking through them, in sickness and in power.

As much as I wish to stay, as much as I wish to listen
I'd do well to walk away, only looking into within.

The fire's warm and bold, stories told and happening,
I do not wonder why you're so cold

You sleep so far from your own crackling.
You have a light-pail inside of your person,

Don't go around asking for love to put in.
Inside of you is a love that is perfect!

If you find some of that,
You won't settle for less.

You were born originally worthy,
Let's not compromise that for less.

A fish fits within the purpose,
It is easier to flow than to run against.

Some more chicken-scratch
Intoned in earnest,

Just like as a child
I looked up to Dad.
