Second Beer Blush Pinkening Sunset

Second beer blush pinkening sunset and only days to go

While the scurrying above me calls for bat-proofing 2.0

Two soft young dogs, bookends nightly

Ten legs and 1.5 tails 

Sprawled together in bed-cushioned happy repose

As last month?s trash pit tadpoles hop and loudly moan 

Over a fallen ramada near where a cement house has grown

Only photos and detritus of shade for drinking friends

A fading memory of another suspended 

Book-reading then, 

Now long gone

So it goes

Broken bottle of red and dog piss on the floor

In a few days time no more green orange keys in the door

For now?

Feet worn dark and rough by weeks of bareness

Volleyball chasing scurries over hidden green thorns

Beach walks, stone steps, and wax gripping galore

Leash-bruised while pushing people to surf standing success

Too easy on purpose

Good luck on your own

Too skinny, a little sunburnt, and very very tired

4:30am coffee

Back and forth, 1^st gear in four wheel drive

10pm again, headed home 

Low tires brail reading a pockmarked, cowcluttered path

As wipers do their double time

And I wish for a moment in the future that will look a little like a recent past

Relaxed behind a waterfall on a dark damp porch

Sebu silhouette 

And I?m not going quite yet

Instead buzzed and bouncing along to the jumping dogs waiting

Stones under tires, out of my head, and from inside the speakers

You can?t always get what you want?

Olive oil, garlic, and onion in a hot pan

The smell of constancy in all places, all times.

From here to next

The calendar scribbles are just as you?d expect

Nonstop 

Still half wishing for 100 hours of solitude

Always 

Time 

Distracted by smiles of new friends 

While already mentally adjusting for another world

Good beer, varied food, fast internet

Sisters 4

A side-winding Sector 9 skateboard, my favorite escape

To feel the wind smile and shiver in a cooler country

Pink Floyd headphones

Barefoot in jeans

My feet are rough and ready

Nothing else

...but if you try sometimes

you just might find?

Eventually - 

You take what you need
