Ephemera
i was told
last night, by a woman
whose life was passing her by
that the card in my hand
indicated that i was to be reborn
now i sit
with ink from a borrowed pen
that i borrowed from a friend
who also gave me his food
as America was passing us by
and i
so long to express this lovely isolation
we are the light
of a single star
and no star
is ever very far
from my single thoughts
they touch
every one
i am
so many colors
when i divide myself
in the water that falls
poured by a man
with no plans at all
