Best Crossings Poems

The sun went down before mid day. 
And left me just walking away.
To feel the darkness cover me.
And wonder if I'll ever see.

The light of day has a new shade.
Since that dark day that the devil made.
A momentary lapse of love.
Where angels couldn't see above.

When I reached the edge of the abyssal night,
in plain view of the condensation of stars,
when "us" was impossible
to carry rolled in my school backpack,
and it all became a fact,
 without step back,
the conversion of yesterdays
 closed in my bones,
It no longer mattered how I...

Yes, I am seeing more and more cars stalled
on the freeway. I am seeing shorter
tempers. I am seeing more faces gnarled
with stress. I hear more talking of border

Says our plans are immature and keep on screeching

A 10 foot fence is no deterrent
Sixteen’s the thinking current
But bring...

"I was at an intersection, approaching a stop light
It had changed from green to yellow then red
Three autos in front of me
I was facing north on 84th street
Right off of Center
As I'm stopped I canter peered my vision to the left of me
And for the...

To elect a Government 
Not for the crossing of the pressmen  
To that Government...

Halfway along a train of thought
a single passenger, just you,
as nimble as a soft-pawed cat,
stepped out onto a deserted platform.

Out of my heart,
a great rocket of desire raced away
into a half-dressed sky.

It may have been your floppy hat.
and your pink shoes that caught my attention,
yet...
