Colander

Your body is riddled with bullets

Alive and walking

You are living.

I hold you up to the light

All the pinholes in the page

Shine little beams 

in front of me

Isn’t it pretty?

Isn’t it fancy?

Water passes through,

Nothing stays in

Ants come in for winter shelter

The two way road

Smoke in and water pours out

How do you live

But we all live life this way

Some plugs

You and me

We will fill these holes in

He gave us

mud to place in the cracks

Wind won’t come in to chill

The boat will float again.

.

I see!

I can see!

The charted course

the design

the enveloping light

A hand on top of my heart

I am free

I was always free

It pierces me

to within
