Window-ledge adventures: pt1
Sipping the cool light of night
Icy cold soles of dry feet stick fast to simple floating lump of stone
My bones tremor electrified for a second by windy upgusts
As my 10 toes curl around the angled edge
The unusual magic carpet catapults soul through the city streets
And dark alley grease
And the tranny meets papa retreats
Around the back of Busy
Away from street scenes in blue movie sneaked dreams
Searching for more my carpet dives low slow
Grazing my head intimately on thoughts of a thousand small fry
Many thousand thoughts cried unknown
Reports lie. Reports sigh and say no to what’s yearning below
Beneath brain is heart
Beneath fame is art
Beneath cain was abel
The humble feeler, fought viciously by logical greed
“Be neath,” I whisper to some, as the air rushes through my lungs
Moments later I’m exhausted with room given to new breath
Or gift given to loose death from its shackles
It matters not
For below the unnoticed roofs the children read stories are future
The children being fed surely are future
Small children being bled gory are future
Lily-white fathers explore the pink world of the future
as the future dies inside
Hiding from the present days
wild with tears it cried
Sad future must and does sleep
But for now I’m gone
staring at the mothers ransacked by fathers
raging and glaring at the backs of their partner
as unwanted intrusion convulses her lithe frame
No change
If time had a brain, today would be the same as yesteryear
It would say yes to days
Yes to mere hours found crammed
behind the sour derelictions of duty by Our will be done
Time after time after time after time
after rhyme after reason, trial after treason
denial after cheating, today is still breathing
The same, for no meaning is real to clock wheels’ steady tock and ticks beating
Next street, more grieving, swirled with smiles shaken
Cocktail of my life
Long tale of my strife lived out in an enclave play
All my world staged
So here I stand
on the cliff of stone ledge. Staring
slowly round the corners of mood and rage
Plunging scared fist into unseen crevices of goop and sloppy thinking
Wide eyes are not blinking. Thighs are not tensing
I wait for a blessing
Shiver tremor, quiver shiver
No message is sent. And no message is meant to be sent
folded and wrapped tight in mind-snacks or soundbite
Truth speaks without wavelengths as slow as my small head can grasp
I get wrong cliff task, and step backwards into my room
feel man-made carpet on my sole, and think how close…
