Light misty rain
free from anything
that dulls or dims.
Great Heat fell down on me.
Large task landed clear
writing for my life
tell no one
travel light
silent moon slippers cutting grass
hollow straw man
decided to taste electric
wave your wands
sweaty sticky pens
trapped in spider's shadow
stretching down walls
far away her web still burns
it is here I leave
the paved path
wet grass stomping in rain
under melted pastels
squinting at her summer halos
butterflies inhaling splinters
absorbing flares like asphalt emergency
show me your mansion
make it disappear
treasure beyond any riches
searchlight memory
writing for my life
drunk on fire
an unforgettable sunset
scars a vultures shadow
a healed poet
marching moonlit miles
over another bridge
pausing over railroad tracks
skateboards cracking through concrete bowls
light mist crying
on homeless camps
miles and miles
of pain and love sleeping together
in ripped sleeping bags
one more poem
before all words vanish
staring through inhuman eyes
silent moon slippers
gliding on river
spelling your name again
free from anything that dulls or dims
writing for my life
ten mile marches
drunk on fire
exhaling splinters
dissolved again
in the painted nectarine dawn
of her best smile
from darkest dark
to lightest light.
