Human Condition

Now charging, now bursting, as t'ward all shores waves march,
mine and my kind will keep on;
Now swift, now gone, always vast, we keep on, as seas keep
these one hundred horses all crashing;
these one hundred winds all true;
these one hundred hearts all blazing,
all flaming from flames of the sun,
whence embers unto us falling,
while, still, we keep on and keep on...

© 2002 M. Sammons

M. Sammons was born in 1977 in Corpus Christi, TX. At the age of fifteen he absconded from the polluted rubble of that "Shining City By The Bay" with a view toward realizing the benefits of healthier, less damned air. After many years of arduous travel throughout the United States and Central America, Mr. Sammons finally settled amid the dust and debris of Houston, TX, where he continues to write poetry and short fiction from the squalor of his apartment in the Heights.
