The Pain of Night

Caving tears in the moonlight's shadow. 

I wash the pain of yesterday's wound. 

A shade of happiness drifts in the darkness. 

I start to breathe in a crowded room. 

I run fast, 'til I reach the horizon.

What goes up must come down. 

No colors can define who you are. 

You may own a cart or limousine. 

We'll still reach the end when it is near. 

I may be poor today and eat from trash.

after our fall

I was not sorry that you left

but always wondered where you went

when we would meet again

a fine and sharp tongued brush

and directs the chaos of her teaching to the walls and the streets

I hear the clack clack clacking

rhythm of the rain

I want to see the milky way all over the world

and collect all its secret names under my hat

smoke dances lightly through my tent

softly

lightly

like a lily and a rose

Her Heart in Her Hands

Her heart in her hands.

Her arms outstretched.

A certain smile striding forward,

“Take it. It’s yours forever.”

His hesitating head tilting sideways,

she upturns his palms,

curls his fingers around her heart.

A smile. A kiss. A beat.

“I bet I can make her smile again,”

I declare to myself, staring at this faded representation of a beautiful woman.

The portrait highlights tired eyes and a smile that has slipped at its corners.

I’m sure she was once vibrant and full of life.

I bet her smile could make the saddest person happy again.

I can bring back her colors.”

“It’s no use,” a voice behind me declares. “I’ve tried many times.”

“And who are you?”

The long awaited heat on skin burns off the white blanket,

dripping, transfusing the waking earth.

Filtered through gravel and sand the springs surge forth

with melted snow crystals,

flowing past icicles trapped in the shade.

I pull my suitcase into the room and kick the door closed with my foot.

I hurl the bag onto the bench and unzip.

Piling pieces of clothing into a sliding drawer,

I lay a shirt and pants on the bed and pull my shirt up over my head.

The door swings open and I jump.

So you sniff the cork

Admire the label

Intoned in moments when

The heart bleeds nostalgia

Recalled in waking dreams when

Thoughts meet the rising sun

Of a distance required by force

Avenue's Of August

Many avenue's of August

Share an epic of delusions

Where the lost girls stroll

The sore of a preacher’s thesis

These eyes behind shades,

Parallels to a dyke

These avenue’s of August

She circles all night

Should I give a damn,

When she needs no more

Sicken by the life

Something’s tattling the soul

In love with a clique

Thus sweeter than honey

These eyes behind shades

Keeps a bitch strolling
