Acetylene across the sky
Vibrant constructions forced atop toward eye.
Rise rude ruby colored sun.

Undergo
move to a new location.

Rave inside the spiral

This day is flowerless
and the ropes that maintain earth seemed loosened as the North Atlantic hurdled towards me.

My thoughts stiffened while the other men grunted and lit their finely cut tobacco.  The hazard which was the sea fosters some primal fear.
geometrical meanings underneath the waves leaving mind and body uncharted.

The surface offers safety, a programmed ideal of life.
Today I've become accustomed to the climate, which contains all that we know. Tomorrow will be introspective and thoughts will grow like fields.

You who could not be looked after
belong to the things of this earth.

Wherever you look
you find yourself peering into the flat circle.

Living flesh enters the garden,
only a man entering a garden
seeing himself in the bird bath.

You could not be carried
or given a hand,
crawling the only motion
the last vestige humanity

I merge with you at night and search for what's within.
a starving artist now
but earnest with thy pen.

Our skies seem to cloud
but no one runs away,
hold my hand awhile -
tonight is where we lay.

With eyes like oceans,
and skin as soft as silk,
thy beauty slowly blossoms,
thy flower never wilts.

we've both felt grief in life
we've both felt years of pain,
love is ancient, the heart a primal thing.

Daybreak and weathered men with their fermented drinks,
make way for the morning.

Doorways dimly lit beyond the ruins of lesser worlds,
older boys laughing aloud,
Near the honest sun
and the absent clouds.

The mesa seemed heavy as birds shimmered above-
whats their place in all this land?

Mornings were always cold
even while sunbeams flourish,
The farmhands copper in color, congregate near cattle, pipes in hand, hoping for good days ahead.

A sparrow stares back
with luminous eyes,
but the body grows weak
and soon it will die.

The beauty of wings
and the empty spaces above
slanting over the waters
we passionately love.
