hillbilly heaven


hillbilly heaven

i watch hawks
with my squints for eyes 
on thermals 
flyin
a cool summer breeze hugs my ankles
just passing through it breathes 
a human just like you 
only different
cleaning out the buzzin thoughts
that tend to only pull inside 

there are devil dogs in the sky
there are kids chasing after kids
as in baby goats
there's that breeze again 
but this time 
it barely touches my ear instead

the neighborhood dogs
all noses to the ground

if you close your eyes 
and tune in your ears 
you'll find there isn't a moment 
not a one
where bird chatter cannot not be heard

this is the calm
the here
the now

air conditioners struggling to keep up
oak leaves dancin all silly like
busted ass basketball goals 
power lines hangin 
icee meltin same as the sun in the sky 
it was breakfast for dinner 
crows caw from tree tops 

in this here
in this now 
i'm sittin
in hillbilly heaven
