Sundogs and Rivet Heads
The bookshelf is littered with bearded heathens
wolves who once prowled the earth
writhing with intent
with fish breath
with doubt
their decadent features
leather worn from thought
from illusion
from cravings
The Sundogs and Rivet Heads
divine psalms once remembered
long burned out by love
by hope
by indulgence
lives on to warm
the only corner of the room
where the mice won't hide.

We need to read books to escape this reality or to learn about certain things. Keep on writing.
