"bungees" poems
A friend under the strict moonlight
The sunken lifetime street light
A tape from door steps always taps
The unheard voice of allied laps
A friend above the raised song
Whose eyes can lay in low savannahs
A conversational flow of escape traps
Words unspoken, reserved, immersed
My friend on the haunted cell phone
Whose hammock of reclusion tents
Pegs of condition,bungees of freedom
A sacrificial religious preconditions ail
My friend, a reflection of a world another
Take this winter coat I shunned
One that wakes by the sunset
As it shows me not to be afraid of the world

She caries it around with her every where she goes.
It bungees from her mind to her heart, lungs and even her stomach.
It curdles her thoughts until it is the only truth she can fathom.
It ****** her dry
like the sun does a desert mud hole,
and her soul cracked from the drought.
Try as she might she couldn't leave it behind
because the darkness was always there when she closed her eyes.
It bore a stinging sensation of what had become familiar,
like the scent of a childhood home.
She dwells there
scared to venture elsewhere.
The risk of leaving behind
the only thing that had always been with her loyally her entire life
was greater than the chance of running far enough to escape it.
And its hidden in darkness that she learned the greatest skill she would ever possess. Forgery.
Deceit.
Each success,
each smile and friendship was formed to help conceal the evil she hid away.
Don't let them see.
Don't let them see.

You dropped out of view
Just over that low, low skyline
Where the roads travel further than my eyes can comprehend
Between rigid cliffs, where the tree does bloom
And the water bungees with snapped cords
Where the deer stride and the hare watches
Quietly for passing to come
