Light lit
in corner
things bathe
in dusk
like hints
and whispers
barely said
train whistle
bleats in
disbelief and
a siren
wails of
a tragedy
these things
make up
my early
morning here
Gum
The sky
this morning
resembles that
chewing gum
long ago
I think
the one
with stripes
you know
which one
so juicy
so sweet
and chewy
just like
this very
early lazy
mountain day
Thimble
I do
so enjoy
this nothing
my notion
a thimble
of simple
is enough
of everything
my peace
Life
Me I
am not
haunted by
ghosts vestiges
of some
past trinkets
relics books
or baubles
pictures caged
in frames
of isolation
moments trapped
in the
snarls and
snares of
the jaws
of safekeeping
I rather
wander amongst
strangers of
the living
angels then
of the
future not
the fallen
True
If one
were true
there would
be no
need for
lies a
wheel that
is needs
no pedal
to turn
