Wild and Precious

This Arthritis

that we've Caught

in the Family Joints

is Psychosomatic

the Witch Doctor

in Chile told me

for Health

He said, Keith,

Heathcliff, Fred err,

Whatever:

Stop Drinking in

the Diluted Expectation

of Society Conventions!!

Stay inside a Few Nights

a Hundred let's Say

on Your Back

in this Arabesque Twig Hut

with Its Gap Tooth grin

where the Sky and

all Its Bugs

can Finally reach

to Your Innards

unburden Your Skeleton

So you can Walk,

Free with Conviction

a Living Red Line

to Flow from

Bones to Fingers

When You Rise
