With me
Fingertips merge
And together we share
Love's insidious trickery
Mutual
Mutual
in mulchy mud
marrows and cucumbers
multiply, magnify themselves,
mellow.
Mellow
Long time walking
Nestling head in my lap
Furry flap hangs over his eye
Snoring
snoring
shoving sliding
tossing turning inner
screaming drifting dreaming quiet
at last
At last
Hero's demise
Their diabolic plans
Unfolded in their excitement
Escape
Escape,
the final dream,
the child slivered in sweat,
bed the mangled container of
nightmares.
Nightmares
Pale eyes staring
from the mirror's shining
silver surface, withered faces
crumble.
crumble
and toss away
dreams on paper are meant
for crushing, or squashed in pockets
and washed
And washed
clothes may be worn
again, for they are free
of stain or fault, metaphor of
my soul.
My soul
opaque eyeball
cushion to the windy
scream, everlasting entity,
blown dust.
blown dust
dry tumbleweed
red sandy cliffs and caves
copper green hills and rock-strewn gulch
desert
desert
empty echoes
of past sins we regret
dance on winds of souls forgiveness
then gone
then gone
years of wild youth
leaving love's heart breathless
watching sunrises through life's mists
of hope
Of hope
and joy I sing,
high over the cornfields,
lifting your heart with my wild song.
Skylark
skylark
dance of pale leaves
autumn skies of dropped cloth
trees dress
