Cave Man

(for daughter J.)

I live in a cave here in the mountains

built from the green grass underfoot

out of cardboard and 2 ply lumber tarp

underneath a 45 foot trailer

out in the parking lot with all the 18 wheelers

down next to the CPR yard near the airport

with only Canada Geese and osprey

to keep me company after the sun sets

and the noise of the town subsides.

always alert they roust the homeless

when you have nothing left they insist

on chasing you off even here

in the backwash of Cottonwood Creek

We need to write songs for the homeless

for people struggling to keep warm

when all has been taken from us

even shelter from the storm

at night i breathe frosty

i hear music even here

struggling thru the plastic

to see if nighttime has turned clear.
