Of Another

dream of me if you can
the clouds dancing together
the poking fun
run to where the sun was once king
the stream of ethereal hills

the clearest stream 
fall to your knees
it is the least
you can do

the coyote scream race their shadows
it is the way of night
you run to where your heart beats faster  faster yet
and then was done with me

bits and pieces memories 
of a redemption shunned
a broken prayer
written on the bones
of another

Purely Accidental


a swirl of barely cloud curls to wisp

air too blue for me to breath dissipates

there somewhere the sound of darkly racing wings
a galaxy that shares her faint fragrance
the purity of her heavens unrivaled

and for me
dying specks of light
extinguish before their time

before the cruel awareness

of my accidental

existence

Purely Accidental

Birth

let's go back to
the miraculous 
fleeting
nothingness                                      

of us

birth of touch

raining shimmer of drenched grass

clashing skies above the thunder
sparkling shreds of 
voiceless light

let the old worlds be kid
they've collided once enough
become one older world alone

let the dull hammer of these thoughts
beat out their ryhmeless time
there is no point to any of it

and what of the sweet whispers creatures
that slip from the dazzling spring

certainly there is more to this
than meets the heart
than meets the birth 
of  
her
first
wordless
breath
