Steve Skafte - Promised Land – Promised Land – what have you promised the land? what have you shared with the dirt? to sleep in the earth till life do you part to be darker than skin and softer than soil to have your heart well-done and bring your love to a boil its not about women, only animals its not about wills, only testaments its not about roads though they brought us here its not about thoughts though they seem sincere its about sensations and six or seven senses eight playing cards and nine steps to the door ten more good stories and eleven years old bold as beavers and woodland creatures ready to build and rivers be damned safe from the rain beneath childhoods lifelines on forest time blood pressure at the speed of weather woken fully free to the taste of green one egg and two cups of identity Ive come to believe that time is a machine that Ive failed to perfect like a wreck in the trees leaking dreams like rust soliloquies Ive spent twenty-two years in the wilderness (but Moses said thered be days like this) because journeys are hard like from the couch to the bed and journeys are much easier done than said... © Steve Skafte
