A Glimpse of the Future
What is this resplendent thing that sparkles ahead,
Pacing faster than limbs of incapacity
Beyond the all-pervasive dakness of want?
Could my eyes be playing upon me some sly pervasity,
Seeing things untrue, askew and errant?
Or is it a...

Breathing my name.
Peeking through windows
Slipping under my bed
Upon closing my eyes
They entered my head.
