I take my share of oxygen
drink water
and speak

I take my share of silence
listen deep
and sing

I take my share of sound
share words
and sleep.

'Streaking lights'
Meteor shower

'Waves of colors'
Aurora Borealis

As if opening....
a new box of crayons.....

'Senses'....
Affected

Another.....
Migraine Headache!


r riddle: 8-23-2016

Near morning
by the sea
where I tangle
with the shadows
like a cage of sad tigers
by a grave I find a rope ladder
left by a thief
as the tide steals my eyes,
prisoners of time
without a hammer
trying to drive a stake
in the ground
and this is my crime
living and dreaming.

Evenings like these
black as a keyhole

crossing a shadow cast
on the side of the road

where the ground sleeps
dreaming of smooth stones

and nights without love
earning a dangerous living

like a breath under water
choked on the mystery

of cornbread
and a farmer's daughter

I wake up thirsty
hungry and alone.
