Poetry II
wind
all is what it seems
the composite
meaning is just a point of view
come lick my brain
wind

this blade of grass and I
have heard many things

the wind speaks


all is what it seems

yellowed in the sun
this faded shirt
my feet bare as i cross
the empty yard

she would be in a blue dress
if she were here,
coffee cup in hand
faint smile on her lips

sounds of water, wind and birds
would stir the morning mist
a grin on my face
a step of grace in my pace

time took this from me,
like the thief it is
took the sunsets, the pink of morning
the warm embraces

I, the fool, as life would have me,
stand here in the morning dew
staring into a future
I never knew, alone is alone.


the composite

marbled in time this
the stone of truth
a pleasant walk


in evenings long held note
the dark of dark appears

this silence of the sun

a hand held, a smile
in infinitesimal steps
the nite moves on

sounds erupt from trees
I hear them
gentle as a summers breeze



meaning is just a point of view

there is a rock
a mountain really
a sky expanding into space
water softly washing into morning

there is this
smell of incense
touch of mist
quiet noon

rivers cry beneath the bridges
mountain sigh below the planes
men dig holes in earth and wonder
is life, could life, really be this way?

steamroller thoughts flatten dreams
cease a false contentment
crease into a dreary evening
could life, is life, really what we see?

you, and maybe even I
have seen this dusty vision
mindless motion
endless march of death's precision

no touching this
true world
this world
and you
and I
will never know.

is there more to this
than just the endless pounding
of sounds into the ears
that have already heard too much

is there anything to see when eyes
have bled in darkness
tears dried in endless sorrow
weary of yesterdays tomorrows

more or less is there even this
the clouds in miriad patterns push
into evenings soft refrain
sunlight drained into dusk

or more to this, the emptiness of need
the deeds of selfish wanting
curled into frowning brows
the wisdom of pain, marrow of despair

yes, but not that we know
indeed, yet seeing is not too easy
of course the living thing is now
this gentle breeze speaks it

listen



come lick my brain

in splintering twilight
I
the moonshakes tumble to the ground
earth rattles
beat in tune
to man's incesscant whining
jesus
mohammed
joseph
and hitler
wear a badge
a crux
a crisscross of sight
and we tremble
and shake
and take the next
exit near

these are the times
you are the mimes
of unspoken truth

the vagrant vagabonds of destiny
lisping into tomorrows rhapsody of woe
the thinning light of morning
reveals
a stone
a thread
a goon

the last one in is
the last one out

shout
take heed

the end of the world
happened
while you were on the phone
no one noticed
the inertia
turned to movement.
think or not.
it is the question to your answer.
