it keeps
breaking

so tightly
wound

it does
not breathe

like a
balloon
that cannot

earth

for someone
so cheaply

as me
A pig’s tail of
pink smoke
suddenly appears
from beneath
the bedroom door

as if a spider web
revealed by light

rising toward its own
dissolution

a breath of
perfumed air

captures the room
filled with

otherworldly

leaves her dry lips

and rises toward

While sleeping

remaining beautiful.
Dedicated to my mother
As you can see
From
My perspective
I’m an old soul

Is where
My mind dwells...

At times
Some , would give
Their all  
To tango along
With my rhythm

But
They don’t give
A **** about
My blues ...................
