“old galvez town” – original poetry
***
a poem of perseverance, galveston island is a slip of land a few people slip themselves into –
sometimes, to themselves presevere, sometimes simply to preserve something precious maybe-unsaid within themselves
the pirate jean lafitte is said to have made himself at home here
it’s a yoga kinda place, with the only current yoga studio in town aptly named, the yoga haven
great place actually 😉 an ancient art housed in an ancient building on an ancient island

Old Galvez Town
Ancient
sand dune
stretched wide
by the naked flesh
eaters. Modern day
sun watchers, cruising
the seawall, offering
bargain coconut scents.
A feast for the pale
hordes lost from
denser land.
And when the old
homes quake, shaking
their tall antennae, when
the sea throws a hurricane,
the ancient island also
rises – clothing and
preserving the
naked soul
with
its own
salty truth.
