WORDS

The best words I've ever said stayed in my head. The people are fine, dogs walking too. The water glitters, gulls make that gull sound I thought I had secrets but God knows there's none to be found. I'm as wide as any book smaller than the ants too I'm on my way to places that welcome you in dirty underwear, unbrushed teeth and dandruff in your hair. I haven't seen my face in a long time, it's no longer really there. Amitabarhi please come and look after me. My tears spread through me like sprinklers and swings in a park where the sun stretches. When you think you need it, well it's right there under the dark nothings far away or much too near. FADING Trying it all over again, the wish, the dream, that all fell through. I seized a slip of some soiled spotted reminder. Fixed my thoughts anew and again the dreams I had stayed put. Haunt me, hurt me, this is what I have: Shadows and shades of what should have been. The light fades just enough to say grace, none of it will be erased. Innermost in my musty soul is your shining glow calling me dimly in the smoky night wafting wants and delights. Yes, deception has won me. I gave to stand in the joy of this minute. Nothing harsh, real hopes and wishes wander in a land of wispy pieces of a life.
