Pelicans Gather

pelicans gather
where jade hills smother
storm cloud reminiscence
wine spilled and
the creek gushed o’er the walls
hair wet you held hands
and ducked until the cops light
stopped shining
“sshhh” let’s make this place our own.
Let’s make this place our own.
pelicans gather
where jade hills smother
storm cloud reminiscence
wine spilled and
wine spilled and….
barefoot and running
they made words for us
but let’s start singing
made up songs
“ you skipped and spattered
said yes and muttered
they’ll always be something
in the bottle humming,”
wind on the water makes waves
but moon rhythms and boulders
and gulf streams–
garbage saves!

A very intricate poem that has natural rhythm and flow without the use of grammatical punctual devices. A nice read.
