earth note 706


koh samui thailand 1988-1989

no woman no cry
stowed away on a freighter
out of trenchtown jamaica
bob marley & the wailers awakening
in their sound
a connection
     no
the connection
between the soil and the sea
and the human condition worldwide
that can only answer
with honesty
a fisher's net that more often than not
comes up mostly empty
but where there's still the music
beneath the wounds
the heart knows no boundaries
if you reach
and touch the water
