a slight tingle beneath the skin
let's little out and little in
as memories flood of where you've been

they will forever whisper alice

when what you knew you thought you knew
is no longer holding true
as mountain winds are passing through

on the breeze they whisper alice

a ****** of crows are left behind
on this the darkest of lives
they fillet the soul but leave the mind

as the beat of their wings whisper alice

thoughts to hold
loves to behold
darkness gives way to light

night gives way to sun shine bright
and tides give way to the shores stretching hidden and revealed
covered , concealed and re-appealed at moons suggestions

inevitable turns and motions projected
yet not the same components whence this building was erected
stand here today new memories and presents
projected onto walls and floors
breezes and floating flowers , plastic bags and in need of showers
sweating from the humid city evening hours

powers are working
people are churning
cities belly is not burning
but dance
little ants of power dance

in your one lined solo group style flow
of natures voice still heard in cities loop holes

i , am safe , i am full , i am empty i am souls

I met a man ,
with ******* bags in two hands,
and a shirt that says -

'join the conversation'

i ask for a photograph..what spills forth is
a torrent of pent up pain , of tears and a shaky smile ,

i tell him, you've got this far , you've met me , you didn't think that would happen today...
and i tell him , i hope that some good luck comes his way ,

i hope that something changes to make his life happier , he says he'll wait for me
i say i won't be back , i am a one time listener
he says people see him as not human
i say people are strange , he says as soon as they are rich they look at me with distaste
i can feel the bitterness on his lips ,

i say that these people can not be happy
he says but they have it all

i say but they have no happiness sitting in traffic in their BMW , at least you have your thoughts
he says his penny's worth on how he sees society

this man is a philosopher .

i walk away humbled , i hope i left him with the thought that there is light yet..
