I have questions for myself
I speak them into the holes
Between moments
I hear the infinite echo
The unknown depths

I am something.
Am I not?

A dog barking
Wandering people in half tears
Threatening old smile lines

Lights shine on the remnants
Of a life worn
People holding coffee
Letting go of the morning.

The leaves fall to cold
Beauty in entropy

The trees bare
They welcome the winter.

There is a cement path
Cutting the belly of the suburban grotto
Burning pine smell
My friend toils
A girl sits feeding
Into the fire
Small sticks from her
Hands as his voice
Reaches the deck

With me
Head in phone
Alone in my mind
Breaking orbit
I struggle against gravitational
Moments of self doubt
Red memories incarnate
In the subtle awkwardness
That brands my madness.

Jacking a car
Up so we can fix
The tires
They gave out
And now the body sags
Onto it's deflation

The night is seen
By a spreading moon
It wears a veil of cloud
Ethereal garment
That glows over the trees
The road
People treading along
Concrete tracks
Never leaving the ground
Never craning their necks

There is a lady in the sky
Thousands of years to her name day
But she still smiles
Still holds us with her magnetism

The earth turns over
Darkness it's sleeper
But my heart glows
For she is my keeper.

My dog has me trained
I know it as I scratch away
Her little breaths
Carry appreciative dogsay.

I imagine her heart beating seven times to my one.

The stars look down,
upon the irradiated land
this old car
sunbeams recycled through copper veins
painting the concrete fields orange and blue.

We find our patch of earth.
You grab my hand,
Threading your fingers deep

Our bodies clouds
Floating upon the sinking calm
of late summer.

I want to wake tomorrow
Really wake
As a different person
More creative
More loving
More vibrant through all
My feeling
A rocketing, plummeting, vaporizing
Expanse of thought that I take
To be, me
