Salvations Breeze
Salvations Breeze
Nick Rush
The house docket is read to thee
Salvations breeze will freeze the leaves
On the skeleton trees and calendar weeds
That echo barren whispers.
I see terrace houses and chimney spires
Billowing smoke from the factory mire
The last gust of sanity tires
As the last gasp of vanity wires
Humanity to a socket.
Veranda gates and lavender towers
April change and lukewarm showers
The first sniff of summers power
Wander trails of mammoth flowers
Can't the sun sleep; a little longer?
Opaque salt lakes and briny shores
Razor flats and mountainous noir
Mouths of canyons sing the cure
As curious footprints coat the door
To the wonderwall of oneness.
Escaping, escaping, denying, denying
In the shine within twin peaks
Fly between the silky sheets
Of twined magnolias
And stone cut creeks.
The world is shown and ever-sewn
From storage eyes loaned
By the eternal unknown.
