|| Watching daybreak
With half-closed eyes
As the sun shatters
Through night's cracks

Drinking cups
Of ambient air
As coffee slithers
Past parched lips

Listening to whispers
Of forgotten winds
To beating hearts
And engine throes

Humming to tunes
Of broken chords
Drowning woes
In music's bliss

Writing scribbles;
Transient notes
On dusty tables
And misty panes

Chasing pavements
Under peals of thunder
Dodging raindrops
And lightning strikes

Learning to dance
With hurricanes
And laughing with
The storm and surf

Relaxing at sundown
With bottles at reach
While shadows prance
In thick amber light

Walking beneath
A pale crescent moon
Feet gliding uneasily
On swaying sidewalk

Dreaming of dreams
And tangled delight
While the past's future
Slowly slips away ||
