there are lightning rivers running from the mountains
tree tops swinging menacingly atop the scalp of a human
moss tangled in toes there are flowers singing with the clouds
in the unfathomed depths of an eyeball we see the vast expanse of space
pulled eyebrows and eyelashes on the desk by the blank notepad
unkempt fury pressurized in thin glass bottles
look at this unfamiliar air between us
look at this forced civility
where have the nests been dispersed
when was the last straw that twisted your neck
bit your ear and tickled your toes
the green apple appears red in the periphery
look closer because there is truth in the mud
a blue lotus
ever blossoming
a belch of the marsh
who are the ones that observe these thoughts
who is the one that chooses them
every moment a different person
never the same
the past and the future are here to stay
everything is now
don't sell yourself short
disconnected appendages
a ghost within a shell
a high strung harp
sugarsand whiskey pit
blackberry blossom
warped wood
