tsunami mind

deeper than the pain of death
is the heart's breadth.

wider than a whale's jaw
is the reach of a racing mind's paw.

seven miles above the earth
aliens, hung up above, hover.

backwoods' ignorance is such
that a flood would not touch.

the wolf preys at night,
he has your children by the throat.

tighter than a vice's grip
is he making you slip.

quicker than a grandfather's life
do you tumble without advice.

the undercurrent has you by the toe
the only way to go is down.

i hope your door is painted red.
