sinking into
a relative position
in each twist
there is friction
in each action
an addiction
tightly bound
to its supposition

a lost cause
from the start
the untrained eye
a missed mark
cupid’s prey
the forlorn heart

and i let the air
out of my chest
released
as a melody to a chorus
wrapped in the words that
i declared my best
a move that puts them
against you
better yet
now
there for us

my mind it wanders
as i walk the streets of denver
my mind it wonders
how they keep it together

walking in the morning
stepping over the sleeping
they litter the streets like
streaks on the wall when the…
mind starts leaking

truth
like a rusted gate
or loose tooth
swinging from
a strand of flesh

the meat that holds
the glue that sears
as your hands collapse
and time it folds
into itself

my mind it wanders
as i walk the streets of denver
stepping over the sleeping
huddled transient masses

gravity it seems
only prevents that which is heavy
from floating away

full of lead, weightless.
they say, that you’ll float away
so the soul remains…

so the soul remained.
they say, weightless, as a dream
buoyed by memory

forever adrift.

lines drawn ’round this earth

from city to suburb with

grooves carved into dirt

the water
the ocean
the salt in
the air

the drop in
the cut back
the fins free
the air

the rush of
adrenaline
the wind in
your hair

the water
the ocean
the salt in
the air

the swell in
the tide out
the suns up
and dried out
the tears of
the doldrums
with surf up
and warm sun

the water
the ocean
the salt in
the air

interplanetary. interstellar. intergalactic.

lips await their catch
unbridled release escapes now
the taste engulfs me

change me
to HDMI 3
tune into
apple TV

there she go
sipping like a pro
it’s not half bad

sigh
it’s just so-so

but the other half
is 100% garbo.
