Howard Roark

I do these things for myself,
and no one else.

The smoke and steam rise together,
dance into my right hand.

Words are my boulders of granite,
my journal a stone quarry.


The stork perches on its nest
atop the Catolica belltower.

The sun warms my fingers
around the plastic coffee.

The bells sound the hour
as I leave my own perch.
