In the Waterfall
in the waterfall
of random thoughts
spherical occurrences
linear streams
tentative transitions
blurry-edged scenes
where is it
from whence did it come
I am superimposed
juxtaposed
in it
undone
frothing about
tossing it out
world in peril
running out of time
everywhere I look
there’s all the signs
daring dances
in lemon glow
autumn rhyme
in the starpoint
of your eyes
I am a spaceman
twixt galaxies
black holes for sight
light years
collapsed
into impenetrable night
where is the inside
when the outside is not,
what becomes of faith when
there is nothing but knots
plaster particle pieces
assembled words
of like kind
I find myself
young again
blasting Zeppelin
into my mind
hazy meanings
outworn designs
don’t add up
to anything
i could ever find
and I’m about to tip
to suddenly unmend
and there you are
before I upend
cradling my head
in the sheets
of your bed
saving me
with the sound
of the right word
you just said
