after the dream
provokes consciousness,
whether by false death
or a surreal sense of awareness,

we again realize how sick
we are of being vertical.

How we long for endless
horizontal pleasures
wrapped in blue sheets

and that's when i realized
that your lenses show me nothing
that's behind those eyes.

Why try, if i'm stuck
within this body
all the time?

The sun is staring
at the snow today

The flakes holding on
as if to say

That they're frightened
by the journey back
to the sky.

*** we all forget
what it's like
to be there.

The house burned down
but the floor remains

The vines and the grass
will take it within


Back to the place
where it began.

*** we all start out
with both these hands

a part of this land.

The ocean holds our thoughts
between its waves

The sand reminds us
that we will change.

*** we are but a grain
to the greater land

But that tide will pull us in
so to understand

The beauty

Of you and me.

we will ascend to the top

An unfamiliar bug
finds its way to my page

It settles between the words
"committed" and "published"
but then contemplates to the right
of "suicide"

Gets its footing above
"precious" and,
tiny wings aflutter,
takes off.

music is the interpretation
of everything humanity desires:

individuals connected peacefully
in time and space by one,
powerful and inexplicable
something.

just focused on the
orange-filtered
rainy grays.

heading toward the steam,
but just can't get away.

it's not a race.

like voices being mixed
amongst a crowd;
i don't understand them
until i sort them out.

i'll take the train.

but at the end of this horizon
the rails will meet,

where everything is pressed into
the same thing.

but as for now
the in-between
is far from seen.

screaming out the windows
of moving cars,
the breeze will take it nowhere

but look at these stars;

we can see through
the clouds.

trees being bent
by sliding hills
are much too slow
for these human thrills.

drive, just ******* drive!

but at the end of this horizon
the road gets small,

and regrets are made
for all those things
we passed on by.

so from time to time
appreciate the growing green.

the ting-tang!
of the wind against a flagless pole

the scent, the depth, the seasons
of another soul
