Sidewind through the slipstream Out into the cold resistance beating chill against the air disdain and nausea flow as silver sink and soar, a held trajectory point of reference pole of solitude peak of sky needles a point so fine for deft of hand pigeons flutter crusts of bread an old man ponders sad among them feet are clumsy tired from journeys arms could never hold the sky
2.
Flash In the center as though a dream Nothing happens in the center of everything A crow drops a marble Crashing to hairline cracks in a troubled sidewalk A dog’s maw slackens to tighten in vocal protest to the tune of a face I never want to see again Shrug and shun look of distaste Brick smashing through the blood and bone Shape and form disfigure harshly Frost falls quick to melt the mountain’s fury Vague story ends when plot develops Break into a vault of insecurities The combination; date of birth
3.
shadows hide in forest groves the source anonymous mixed among the others find might only in association a helpless whelp alone pride only in merits of the company you keep a handful of pennies to your own name shifting morals slip and ebb to match the season too weak to stand as tall as mountains make them all into piles of dirt just like you the strength of the wolf is the pack but only alphas can stand tall in solitude
4.
Feathers float from sparrows torn upon the wind where one ends and one begins scrambled in the aftermath of feasting We writhe in bliss and broken pieces Moans of death in life’s great reward vigor found in loss of dreams emotions sealed in black boxes Goals wrapped tight, translucent gloves Fleshy tones rainbow of pleasure The Stranger once in love with flying Erect in the comfort of clipped wings A joy devoid of clouds and stars

Sing me to sleep Slow sea of pulse and pleasure Hold me close Pressure release to breathe in exhale Ship rocking harder Wave crest and crash in stormy waters Rain to sate a dry throat Pouring down upon him at sea Handful of planks removed The vessel is no longer whole But he upon that open sea May yet find land from rain’s relief
7.
Between the wall and desk So small a space to become lost Backs, they bend to find a hole These little comforts worth their pain Fall so softly Hardwood pillow Light it seems so cruel Dust it builds upon my eyelids twisted into knots As long as all is quiet
8.
I met a ghost of many colours, triumphs, and regrets here to observe all that he left behind he saw the beauty in the way all had forgotten him all that he made became as naught with sigh and wistful expression the spirit turned away he longed to see the day when all would fade “these trees and mountains mean no more to me than monuments, cities, and garbage. the living and the dead are not so different I wait for the day when both are reconciled.”
