Soul is a Small Bird

A   L   O   H   A  !
Bird on a Wire by Leonard Cohen on Grooveshark

" I'd rather sing one wild song

 and burst my heart with it,

 than live a thousand years

 watching my digestion

 and being afraid

 of the wet.” 

 Jack London, 
The Turtles of Tasman

















"I'd rather sing
MANY wild songs
 and burst my heart with 
a surprising number
of them,








 while living
 a thousand years
 nurturing my digestion
with good food,








and showing due
respect
 of the slippery,
and wet.” 

Cloudia
The Turtle Doves of Ala Moana
