Unbalance

There is a peace in the unbalance of stones at river bottom

Calm in the wind shifting

Tipping the body

Oh how I’d love

To recommit all my sins

In their raw sublime

You are the earth like everything before you

What you touched, you needed once

God called your name only once

There is a peace in reconciliation with what is

Calm in despair that is only

The shifting wind as it whispers.

We'll likely pass the hat for him, and he'll have some CDs for sale.

As always, it's at Random Row Bookstore (315 W. Main Street) from 7 pm until 10 pm,  and the cost is $5.  In addition to our guest poet, of course, we’ll have our usual open mic, so bring your talent and share it with everyone!
