i lean heavily
on
a bridge’s
railing
in a blackout
below
i can hear the raindrops
plopping
into
the cold black brine
below
that sound
i hazard a guess
is the sound
of
souls
been absorbed
into
eternity
above
i hang weightily
over
a bridge’s
railing
trapped in a dark cloud
my thought
soon to become
just
another drop
in the
ocean
below

i escaped my raft
making wings from the rafts sail
fear the bird’s eye view

the dead keep dying
stories polished into myths
bud humankinds rocks

we talked of old wars
over sweet babies giggles
stirred into coffee

in our framed mirrors
we grin at the pestilence
infecting the earth

a blob spreads its weight
the passive aggressive troll
will smother your pond

raindrops make a splash
i can not unclog folks minds
puddles will flood drains

loves touch insulates
I’m kept warm by all your hearts
been my suits fabric

child tears up art work
there’s no rainbow child can paint
that’ll guise childs malice

hollow victories
from the cage flew the trapped owl
time shells out wise cracks

resurrecting the trashcan bard
