(2013)
Poem about feeling extra sleepy early in the day.
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
