Desolation Row
Ten speed stick in spokes
Absolve yourself
from Charlatan certainty -
So difficult to un-
wet baptismal skin.
(Who are you -
in reverse?)
Bath in the Gray Sea
so its ambivalent waters
can fuel your contentments’
slow-steady burn.
How does one
channel mind-soul’s
intentful beauty
absent of self?
I am not certain -
For it is an impossibility.
*Desolation Row written by Bob Dylan and performed by Ryan J. Stout
