i am walking
along the river
gone down again
to the sweet wrack
and wreck of beauty
and water raining upon
my brown hat gone grey
as my hair is going into the
new strength of my daily age
who cares about the aches and pains
moving fast towards new rivers

look back
fall forward
present is sweet
life overwhelms pain
the world is not you or me
but joyous us and the golden hound
the day is
and the night also

desperate eyes
one blackened
embracing a desperate disguise
determined to hide
in the twist of dark black hair
her glory
with a river of untimely silver
his guilty affection
an intolerable burden
on the subway ride home

Tracking
across snow
creating parallel lines.
lies?
near enough to
our new life
to cause my tears to freeze
in thier ducts.
Lovely crystals shine prisms
to calm and delight me.

the wind has control of time
restrains or extends the pain
or the rain through the roof
what help can the stranger
the neighbor be?

sometimes when i look at you
in my eye or in my mind
i feel like the paint
is still wet on my life
the possibilities that you
gift to me
are brighter each truly conscious
moment ensphered with you
so that all joy pain mirth and sorrow
dwell interior to my spirit
