The Ashes the Rain and Other Things

somehow the timing was off
moving in winds
flowing in opposite direction
 
pools of rain to end the parade
weeping at the thought
and the other things
not thought of
 
fate to the wind
ashes floating on water
tormented even still
 
hating movies 
in black and white
color like kansas
wizards and demons
 
lost in the eyes gaze
the mirror always wins
to infinite reflection 
 
for the rain
the ashes
and other things
