The Cat and The Crow ( In Brief, )

The cat ate the lingering black crow on a lonely road, so says the distinguished toad,
Gas expressed, finished, the cat strolled onward toward the cool, long end of morning.

How Far? ( In Brief, )

How far? Are you housed in a jar? Like a ladybug, or firefly, forced from the sky,
Why? I can see you through the glass moving about on leaves and branches,
What is this, this crazy, crazy malaise?

Sea Safe ( In Brief, )

Sea safe in the garden of his remembrances, the sailor made his way across wet decks of freedom,
And he sat at the edge of his sadness, vast wealth of sorrow, heavy with his love's last farewell,
Resolute mockery, drip your dark liqueur over the many sailors of wars at sea - and he, of sea-dome,
For when his ship reaches port breaths of his fears and his sorrows will once again cast their sad spell.
