POETRY IS WHAT THE SOULS OF THE ANCIENTS SPEAK TO THOSE STILL SEEKING WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. FROM: LINDA

Thank you to the grooviest, swirliest dudes I know, MH Clay

(Michael) and Johnny R. Olson for publishing my homage to 

Ernest Hemingway.

Channeling Papa

by   April 14, 2026

The sun is looking low in the sky,
from this point on the horizon,
sailboats flying prone.

There are people dancing
at the Sunset Celebration in Mallory Square.

I guess it’s not so bad,
being air lifted from Africa
with a broken back.
When I learn how to walk again,
I’ll join the lucky ones on Duval Street.

In the meantime,
I’ll just let the mojitos flow
and baptize something.
That should be enough
to conquer all my shadows.
