Headline Poem 5/24/14 -- Rolling Stones and Donut Holes

Today is Bob Dylan's birthday. Cheers! 

Rolling Stones and Donut Holes

Reckless misfortune 

can alter us

one at a time,

but like rolling stones 

and donut holes, 

we are not alone. 

We hail from bigger

places 

And

end up together 

Sometimes at the bottom 

of the way 

or 

inside canyon walls 

that seem too tall

   to reach or climb out of

     without a ladder 

to the top 

of the rusted tin roof

built with admiration and solid truth

Sturdy and sun-kissed,

the mounds circle

Ruffled and roused 

Around and around

Dipped and slick 

Like 

wind swept feather

Beads 

Ready to guide us home

to the place 

Rolling Stones and donut holes 

go to feel whole.
