Summer cracks his bra
On your nightstand
As the leaking light of
Morning makes its way
Over your bed sheets

I tell of things that
Have been
Will be
And will be
Again

And so
With the breaking heart
And
Drifting love

One sees that
All things
Must pass and
Move on

With

Or

Without you

And asking why
The sun sets and
The moon rises
Forces a smile upon
My crackling
Firecracker
Face

Dear void essence of
The minds of the mad man
Pressing finger tips
To the ink as
The light bulbs snap
And flash spreading the
News like a puddle of
Spilt milk

Diamonds in her eyes
With the mystery of the
Ocean echoing life
Into every cavern of
Drifting time

Silhouette of a life unachieved
The lost cause the whole
Family is
Talking about

Dear Brother:
Where have you gone?
Why have you left us?
When will you be back?
And if so,
Will you be the same brother
When you first left?

Cascading fire cut flat
With the midnight moons
Dripping tears of sickness
Atop faces numb to the
Feeling of gratitude

Near to home

Near to death &

Near to life

Nearing the fork in
The road all
Lovers who venture
Forth together

Must decide

Where next

To Go
