Something Old, Something New

Bird on the Ledge

a cold winter chill brings
a tiny brown thrush,
looking for warmth.

a bird just sitting,
flakes falling down
seeking a way
out of the storm

he taps at my window
I want to let him in
but it's not something you do.

there's something inside
he wants it so bad
the window's standing strong.
he must find another way

he takes flight
dodges the flakes
and the wind takes him
where it may.






Searching

We're all looking for love
we all need someone to hug
someone to kiss
someone to miss

Is it instinct
or some basic need to feel?
is it culture
We're told it so it's real?

Loneliness is tough
And after awhile
you'll find your love
seperated by miles

happiness comes quick
and fills you both
happiness is weak
and needs work.

so is it love
or just killing the lonely?
is this love
or just settling?

and in the end
where is this going
and in the end
does it matter?

Please tell me that's something old that you just decided to post today. Because if it's just killing the lonely . . .well damn, it's been one hell of a kill and maybe it does matter, maybe.

Actually, the bird one is the older one.
and I like that one better.


I wrote the latter Thursday morning, after talking to our humble friend, and thinking about how Los Hombres Solos has gone and changed over the last year.


just... thinking, and observing, that's all...
