This Fade
I have discovered something
definitive proof its not
slipping out of our skin will show you
who swear by the possibilities
this fade redux
has elapsed into your moment now
has dropped into your lap
look to your left and
you'll find the “creature”
you'll find me with the star people
the Sasquatch,
and the fairy queen
then
in the middle of the road we stumble
wondering which house it is
whipped by the wind was all bits of sand
for a moment it was much darker
everything came apart
terrifying as
hands grabbing the wrists of the branches
breaking the living daylights
while the thunder progressed.
soon
it lifts your other hand
the densely packed caution
mixed with heat and regrets waves you on
the smell of sweet grasses calms
in the field where the sun is low.
silhouetted
he was just black shapes
thin lines coming from the meeting places
his pattern spread out like a quilt
(in layers is where the milkyway lies)
(in layers is where you hide)
in some shape that's indescribable
in some song that lifts the clouds high
7.23.10.
