Crossing The Baton

Tasting like music each word marches on Out of the vacuum flavored in song The future parades on both sides of the bridge The band denied entry so close to the edge The toll taker muted arms point to the sky Pedestrians hover and wait to get by Guide wires of silence restrung play adieu When the drum major signals —it’s safe to come through (Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
