Against the marsh
by Dan Barfield

Willie-boy,...limited
computer access time...
Beautiful day here...
silvery-bright, the ocean
like a silver-blue mirror,
palm trees whispering to the wind.

white
birds standing like virgin brides
against the yellow-green of the
marsh....
been painting hard, doing good work--I think--
still living off
of peas and rice and fish....
crabbing "ain’t worth a
damn!"
....television don’t work anymore
(thank God..No distractions there!)
Still no phone...
doubt I'll get one.....
Joe's doing alright
since he cut off his thumb..
learning to paint without
it
Robert-called-Duncan
...still walking around with his flashlight.....
Latino girls still beautiful,
but untouchable......take
care,old friend....Dan

Good find, Zod

A new poem from Dan Barfield:

******************

https://mdbarfield.blogspot.com/2023/10/sidewalk-cafe.html

Sidewalk Cafe

Sidewalk cafe,

Sailboats floating

like-

White swans floating-

Coconut palms

Crystal water

Soft Spanish

Old fort.

Gray walls.

Rusty cannons.

Dark eyed girls

Golden skin.

Shy smiles

Laughing children.

Old men sit

Cigar smoke

and

Dominoes.

-Dan Barfield

********************

Enjoy...!

Excellent, thanks again.

You are welcome, tell Barfield hello when you sees him...!

I will, probably will see Barfield later today.

No one here cares

Fuck off, Penhead, you do NOT speak for everyone here, you delusional
shit eating monkey..!

He's known as Harry Lime now.
