Time, time, time

It is here

on this rooftop I belong

with my piranha

trail of despondent clouds

 

Familiar as family, once perhaps

familiar as the rope around my neck

 

It is here

along this sky-plank I was meant 

here that I can hear the trains wash on by

here that most have come to pretend and inquire

be the veil and friends that have gone away 

into the smile

 

Unremorseful waves

innocently raking

time away from time

 

Better I was never here than not

counting out the miracles

searching my ephemerals

poor and pale as that which dims in the

evening of the honest conclusion

 

But we will come again, you and I

here on this grassy hill where we began

I was the single blade amongst a trillion

You, the sweet river smoke come morning 

How could we not but meet again?

over, over, over.....each blade slicing ......bloody footprints in the dirt....fingers that scream poetry at the sky

[Perdition]

Screaming alone won't make the difference outside the frequency of an already noisy planet, should it be better that I lay the pen down and let this tide roll its way then so be it, but I just might have a good nothing left to say, and I mean to say it out loud so thank you for bearing with me Queenie and for adding your own scream to my madness. Feels like a Stone Henge Solstice celebration during a time when fear is being thrust upon us to keep us tied onto our solitude along with our families where the madness is well tended to, It thrives to our own peril. Thank you again Queenie.~

"searching my ephemerals"
brilliant line....I wonder if I will meet those I have lost over the years...once again in that place wherever it is.
Too many friends died so young...much life left to live, much to accomplish...much friendship to
absorb...
"honest conclusion" but devastating.

Thanks for the kind words J. and yes I agree, far too many w/out reason, at least none that I can make sense of right now....someday though off the rooftop perhaps beyond the smoke..just maybe they wait with bottles of reason and smiles much brighter than in this realm.
