King Fish

I sit here and wait

On the banks of the Carquinez Strait

Watching pelicans swim

For a beak of sunning king fish

And I meditate

Up shore from the golden gate

Watching sea lions bask in sunshine

And find that my eyes

Can still be awed and surprised

All night I hear wails

Of the union pacific rails

Of ally cat scratch

Of lost baby humpbacks

Of incoming ships

In from their epic long trips

And of mother's dying these sounds never leave

Be there for them

Spend every moment you can

And love your girl dearly

Look deep into her soul

And say that I love you

Before your body turns cold

I love my girl dearly

And also her little dog Boo

We're a small pack

And hey we're happy too

I sing her a song I write her a poem

I gave her my bed

And the keys to my home
