in vast
late november
purity all is color
in grey river whitecaps
I advance a moment in time
only to wheel and hurry back
into the darkness in the beginning
was the word and the word was a lie
let there be light and dark became
#489. a glimpse
November 29, 2011
the day
has twisted
my thoughts into tempests
thwarted desires
lead me to the foot
of the bridge
my stone
is worn smooth
by the quiet noise
of the Endless
river

in rags
with one flip flop
between them handcuffs
shiny sharp their eyes turned
to what thoughts and fears ahead
are they hungry
will they be fed
#487. splashes

rivers
are not always
the color of water
and leaves sometimes lead
downstream
over
round stones and sharp
rocks flowing over this dream
bridge sweet black and grey
splashes
colder
seasons than this
autumn waiting snow
drifts ice thickening deep
muffles the rivers sweet
singing
#486. kick the can

calling me home
with the darkening dusk
and the endless street games
going on with the seductive voices
of the other children ringing the seratonin
bells of longing to belong in my traitor heart
fear bringing us all home to a silent dinner table
father mother and son and son and son
in the house by a now dead cherry tree
we ate and became the family that i cannot find
anywhere in time the deep echo of my name
still rolls down the block behind the houses
of neighbors up green suburban knolls
where the kids all wrestled as one
in the coming night of life
calling me home
#485. ten

in the cycling
of days years grow
we that is us becomes
momentum and the moment
as well as golden promises that shine
in a bright glimmering line between our eyes
that was a corner we turned together before we knew
we could ever know that we could ever sing our strings together

surrender to the wild
bird of enormous mythical crispy brown
proportions and time slips out of now and then
into ancient moments of family love pain belly laughs
and the last crackling leaves turning wet and winter cold
