” A Chin-First Demeanor “

A chin-first demeanor
with limited visibility
pulling hatchets
out of rucksacks
called, “golden hands”
simply dismissed as folktales

becoming physically
and psychically
demanding trail
breaking scavenging
behavior while foraging
for strong moral support
as “ought or not ought”

reaching for understandings
unmistakably commanded
well in advance of avant-garde
bonds as odd conglomerates
marked by hard-bop and pop-rock...
