The Dreams of Bedes
"The Dreams of Bedes"
Jewels they found
dripping like diamonds
from the overflowing viaducts
scattered on the ground
at the feet of disbelief
barely seen
shod lost and disobedient
counting the cost for
unwanted inconvenience
those bridges burn now like
scarlet rubies blood read
the swords dipping
like dancers tango
tripping machiavellian
tomes marked requiem
for burying
tongues caught
between teeth, closed lips
dance ruthlessly
through all the walls
biding their time, what is left
rustling
the notes felt
in an unseen breeze
opening doors
tinkling keys for all
riders on the storm
to take their discourteous leaves
from the exterior world
to make pearls on strings
of words
recounting station
to station
rosaries each
scored venerable
for the dreams of shining bedes
broken and restrung
never over
just begun
music
for
Black Boy Roses
smiling
with the Sun
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

"Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm..."
