San Francisco Morning

street car rumbles on Market
as dawn brushing our eyes
sneaks past your blinds
and wakes us in each other’s arms

waves crash on Black Sands
as gentle mist caresses lips
hands touch nipples
fogs cresting Twin Peaks

redwoods ancient on Mt Tam
see tide surge past the Golden Gate
our eyes opening in day see
bridges to each other’s soul

then heart to heart chest to chest
tectonic plates sliding together
as on earth so in heaven
joys rumble and subside

later streetcars wend me home
passing in twilit evening
I see your window
and I smile.

Doxos is the blog of a Roman Catholic Christian working out his salvation in San Francisco, The California Republic. The first post on Doxos was made in October of 1998. The pages were manually coded. Then there was a “life subscription” to blogger before they sold it to Google. That profile still says 2001. Then there was a thing called “pmachine” and, finally, WordPress. We’re coming up to the 25 Anniversary of this Domain. That’s scary.

Your Host worships here and here. He is a life-professed Dominican Tertiary and studying to be a Roman Catholic Deacon. He also blogs really simple sentences in Hebrew here.

To read a “full profile” on of your host, mash here.

This blog contains a good number of things, sometimes religious, sometimes not. Please remember me in your prayers.

Seduxisti me Domine et seductus sum.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.
(Closing lines of the Táin Bó Cúalnge)
