Our silence baritone'd by
an ageing jackdaw, as the
crow flied, one caw to every
fourth foot fall, he must have
been counting wing *****!

At midday we present
no shadows, because it
is for the time, beings.

Water takes its time
Water takes its turn
Water does not catch fire
Water does not burn

Water works together
Better than alone
Water washes walls away
Water cuts through stone

A Simillacrum
Sitting to practice relaxation.
Misplaced pavement slabs stick out.
I try, now, not to trip, but it's happened.
I try, now, not to wish.

Rain induced meridian response.
Red caffeine lattice on black.
I try, now, not to sip ashamedly.
I try, now, not to wish.

I won't try to keep myself locked up.
I won't repress what I am,
as if I'm only so valid
as I am fitted
and dressed
to expect.

I’m just searching
for that eternal sunshine
The first step onto warm sand
Ice cream handed to you
Across the counter
With a smile
The way your best friend
Snorts when he laughs
Too loud at your jokes
That one T-shirt
You bought in college
That still fits just right
And gets softer every year
One deep breath
At a time
I’m searching
