Desolation Row

william's crux · Desolation Row

Ten Speed Stick in Spokes

Absolve yourself 
from Charlatan certainty - 
So difficult to un-
wet baptismal skin. 
(Who are you - 
in reverse?)

Bath in the Gray Sea 
so its ambivalent waters 
can fuel your contentments’
slow-steady burn.
How does one
channel mind-soul’s
intentful beauty 
absent of self? 

I am not certain - 
​For it is an impossibility. 

Desolation Row written by Bob Dylan, performed by Ryan J. Stout
