I'm tired of running.
I'm sick of trying.
I want to stop crying.
I don't know why I keep lying.
I can't keep living.
I know I am dying.
My time is ticking.
My God I'm denying.
I arose to the
subtle scent of a skein
of moist desert
her
weathered brown cheeks
slightly dewed with
tears

The company of
mute
charcoal
clouds cluster

conspiring

but never consumating
the JOY of
happily wedded bliss

the fruitful mating
of
earth and heaven

RAIN.

The earth recieved
only a wet kiss
and the sky

wept

softly

i leaned across the sink
and let the sun touch my freckles
like i was doing him a favor
as well as myself
for once
