Time Wash
Memories can feel like bodily extensions Memories can haunt the very oxygen I breath Memories carried around like a boat anchor Memories that felt heavier than the present Memories that gripped my slumber’s steering wheel Memories that miraculously became ossified Memories which mysteriously sunk into the ocean Memories when grown transfer into learnings Memories buried in the wavering wash of time Memories...

i pivot between the unknown, and i know not what life has left me dangling from my mind uncertainty mocks my every foothold reality teases me then shrugs off its own beliefs I am disillusioned by wisdom, made foolish by every thought I cling to a arabesque masquerading as a mystic dance yet let me spin on for somewhere ahead i hope a stop sign will slow this dream down ...

** Mother Nature Draws the Dawn ** Already, Dawn sets off This longitude’s waking, Displaying nearby trees Into their scribbled silhouettes In shades Of gray with blasts of black masses — Points gathered Fronting the quick brightening over Yesterday’s leaving darkness, And bringing forth this day’s white-glazed, Cloud-faced sky — Appearing before my sleepy eyes Without any distinguishable color, and Simply...
