The owls hoot nearby;

The screech-owl calls;

The wolves howl in the distance;

The beetles tap and tap in an endless charade

I remember as a young child,
sitting on the stone steps
of my South Philadelphia
neighborhood,

Inquisitively witnessing
the massive amounts

to photos arranged across from where you hung the paintings
made by your own two hands. 
Set behind the dusty glass of antiquated frames,
the photos tell...

Lapses in mindscape lane don't 
denote being fantastical,
subconscious realm portrayed
by vivid thoughts as Déjà vu.

Transition

It was a smooth transition
So imperceptible that I hardly noticed.
The passage from life to death was so sudden.

Making a right hand turn.
The bright sunlight softened
Became less harsh.
A blanket of peace...

And you left my life long ago.

with all of her heart

she'd even die for him

oh how she giggled
...teasing about a text
from an ex lover
in a cute...

I stand as if one grain of sand among billions unseen
as the force of life's storms wash over me
with the same tantamount as this ocean

Hands holding in the summer wind
Every time we hug our skin kiss

Topping off every random whim

Stepin' in I look around...
   inquisitively I'm coached,
all eyes piercing yet no sound...
