Falling into the waning light of plumseed pagodas
Tripping fancy triggers - tiptoe
Like mortar crumble
Unsteady and the fruit and flesh
In hand
Unseen
And who will cover our mouths
To keep us from eat/speak/breathing louder
Than leaves
Landing
Gentle
And dead.
“Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling,
and the sky is flecked with signs...”
– Paul Simon
these medicinal miles, driven
hard through broken towns
to mountain minutes, misted
over, horizon hushed
in green and golden
afterthoughts, stood
straight, your hand and mine
mingling like crabgrass and seawater
.
no, this is not the destination,
organized by victorian vice
archway vines black with leaves
that look away from the light
slatted through cloud, caught
up in well water
...

today walked by me, red dust
and smelling like fruit, some southern
dream of a day, july’s latest conundrum
pounding like a heartbeat in a swamped
chest
like mine pounds
when you breathe
on the
inside
of my wrists…

silence suspending beyond conspiracy
~
purity past sparkle
sacked

broken luminous
restless green
desire
hot bones
picking only soft words

Regrets
cajunboy:
I’ve come to the realization that anyone who says that they don’t have any regrets in their life is either someone who hasn’t done much living, someone who doen’t think very deeply, or someone just devoid of this little thing called a soul.
