even in the east
and in the west
light piled up in darkness

I look out and see
wolves and sheep
there is no difference

they can't keep it away
with fireworks
and breaking windows

immeasurably
in the distance
the little stars whisper

“please don't let us be seen?
In broad daylight.......”

sparks and shards of glass
do not become stars.
I suppose I yearn for transcendence
But what I get is daily life
Boredinary blues
The struggle and the strife

Called my dad tonight
Thank you for the money
Ben Shapiro is a racist
Steve Martin is funny

Called my son also
Just trying to touch base
Mystics in the mountains
Aliens in space?

                   Chase.
I miss you in the morning
Wonder what might have been
55 and falling
Barely even a friend

Reclining on my sofa
Drifting towards the end
My final breath

                   And then?
Hold everything lightly
then the letting so
doesn't hurt at all
and is very easy
Reaching out
  Struggling
The Shadow
Camus said he had no hope
Luther said he had no Pope
I sleep late and long
Protection for my boys

Bullet trains in the night
San Francisco's leading light
I just sit in silence
Can you hear the noise?


                  Music!
Tell me, who's most at fault?

Me; for believing you?

You; for doing whatever it took to fill up your loneliness?
I could feel the winter creeping in through the windows
A white hue hung in the air
Fingers of ice ready to embroil me in it's pleasure
Yet I was warm and made of toasty
Yes
These are the good days

My roof was sound as the wind announced its arrival
I smiled a whistle
Singing the only creak to be heard as I opened a full cupboard
I was ready to devour
Yes  
These are the good days

Time does now tick as my age turns to grey
A smile of great memories
Crying sadness of old loss
My role to remember
A job to create such
I look down through the blur
These old hands all now wrinkled
The good days all gone
