Visit
 

baby sounds and insects hum
the blue robe a halfway house
on the road to a full content
oh, they don't care if I ease some
down
gather leaves
call home
or smoke dope
every call an opportunity
every chance calling softly
softly
so fly
the blue robe flapping
ease down some
soledad
over the moon and ocean
gathering waves
calling home
smoking dope
every call an opportunity
every chance flying 
in the face
on the face of it
a halfway house
on the post road
to a full content

Howl at Solstice 
 

tilting at (john) mills 
but they took a rib from 
Adam (smith) 
and foregoing (forgetting) a 
beautiful Eve n ing 
made a pigskin pink ear 
full of mendications and 
medications 
a sleighfull of goodies 
made in the People's 
Republic 
an SUV to sustain you 
maybe be better 
to just remember 
and howl at solstice
