Untitled

Rain dancing towards a puddle on my tongue

reaching for something external, an embrace that chokes us.

This beautiful black bike thats engine screams like my fringed back,

I escape on the leather seats and the smooth silver

Blooming baby blossoms on the trees

(as tall as mountain) tops fly back as I race forward

Escaping our planted roots

Picking one by one to bring along, I balance beings.

The afterrain lets on a mystifying mist that wets my hand and the blossoms leak out on the distant pavement

I break in the air.

Stuck in this sanity.

I’m soaring on my engine like a hot air balloon

A smooth transcendent layer of life I ride on.

On clouds and winds past sky scrapers

Insanity is comfort

I float on,

bearing the future of

absence.

I enter no oxygen and mouth goodbye to breath.

But the weight is waved off

in a tide of tickling tongues

desertion is destination.
