In West Port Arthur
the winds blew hard
to carry her away
The times were ripe
Big Brother raw
that crossroads by the bay
Her dive was deep
through Kozmic Blues
a legend to unfurl
But not escape
that Ball and Chain
—still searching for the Pearl
(Ode To Janis Joplin: November, 2023)
Thursday Blessing
Marry your will
unto your heart
all Heaven to bless
—and to guide
(Thanksgiving: 2023)
