Michael Witkowski - Laurel path

Laurel wears my head
Sesame gilts my sweaty
countenance
Thus i breach the world
Caring and tossing
Pluck up courage
Off smithereens of disgust
Coy swallows fly past
my sight
But i walk on, walk on
Through water over mire
Through despond over slough

Michael Witkowski
