A bridle

Wood, no path, 
Only light

Five cents each

Isaac watches 
Them fall

A little girl asks about babies,
Her friend 
Explains everything

Banks, changes course,
Still the Charles 
Geology 
Rocks drift, fire flows, 
Earth turns, 
No one watching

A rusty gate is 
A rusty gate 
And more.

Spilt blood is 
Both red and black

On the ground,

Exits stage right

Eats, drinks, burps, prays, sleeps

The moon-washed sea 
Only pods
