Snow Clock
Under streetlights In the silence of snow I am back when my breath was last this loud Electric You tug at my t shirt with your left hand and your nails graze my skin Our pupils dilate, distending out to greet each other in a grotesque bridge of wet, dripping, obsidian flesh So I feel like a black hole I am...

I remember stark beautiful nights Blue nebulae, stars shining bright Constellations, mind-bending sights Brilliant moonshine, rising in height And then ascended, our fuzzy lights Heaven vanished, perhaps...

Streetlights Part Ii
I'm standing here still, where the sweat of my soul fell__ knee deep in the blood... of our wishing well Right back here where our troubles began. where we decided to stand; be us woman or man. ~under the broken streetlight with our story to tell. knee deep in the blood... of our wishing well Flows of crimson water began to...

Lil sister and bro's facing harsh growing pains__ realize hard work don't guarantee profitable gains. Rate race moving too fast, everyone's driving so crazed_ Fearful of being the...

Streetlights
Early hours lost, dark clouds Flapping in the winter wind, Candles simmering with Blue flamed concentration. Words are sparse, just below The crust of loneliness, The march of thought dismissed, In disarray, the boat of souls Cast off bravely long ago. It cannot last, this wash Of constant neon slavery. In silence, starving shadows Lay low, like lurking cats Longing for attention....

The daylight hours start to fade and die Darkness creeps upon us like a stalking black cat Streetlights flank both sides of the road Looming large like massive matches waiting to be ignited Special sensors activate, striking them into life Dim at first then building to illuminate our way Gradually the lustrous shimmer intensifies Glowing giant angels with gleaming halos Sodium bulbs...

Streetlights
Streetlights in the night air Streetlights light up the city Underneath them youth yearn Teenage boys and girls embrace An old man passes by Alone he heads for his abode Where he can sleep Autos rush by their "whoosh" resounds in the urban evening Gazing from...
