The bay is subsumed
By almost thunderstorm
Heather and slate
The sun shines on the pale city
The city shines white
Across the bay
And the ferryboats
Bright dots
Disappear in the devouring rain
Soft from where I stand
But there are spots of light
That play on the hills
And the water
And the land enfolds the bay
Nestling the city on either side
It is beautiful as if from above
And a plane crosses the sky
The churning clouds, white and blue
And vanishes behind the gray

As Bright

As bright as the sun
As cold as the moon
They will whisper to me soon
Warning me to stay away
But it's no use
Your eyes fill my dreams,
Your hand muffles my screams,
Pain enters my back
And I feel something inside me crack,
But as the pain flows
I start to go
I feel myself being lifted,
And I know at once that I am being gifted,
To the Heavens above I fly
I look down at you and wave goodbye
For this is my time
You have made that so
So let me go peacefully
As I start to fade.

I like kitty cats
They are very soft and warm.
I like to pet them.

Eyes, orb as exploding stars,
Weighted light of hair rushing,
Held extremities, nimbus limbs,
Eons' spring, singularity crushing.

on this
pitch black night
millions
of bright sparklers
adorn
the expansive bush skies

on that balmy night in June
the young lovers lingered
under the swaying  palm trees
to ardently kiss

Let us have a footrace to Scotland...
don't worry, you will probably win.
i am pacing myself.

It doesn't matter which path
either of us take: i know
i was high for the first half of the race.

Am i lost?  Who knows?
But i will find my way.
This is how our stories go.

So hurry up, buttercup.
You might win, and then crowd watch.
but if i lose i will still find the Scotch.
