Streetlights

walking out in scattered light
yellow flickers in the night
faded guides with no design
the sidewalk empty as i had hoped for
huddle towards the warmth
the comfort of being alone
every word that we shape to say
is hovering
to unfold and
to decay
and i envy all of their days,
sleeping,
at ease in the dirt
where we let them lay
picture painted in a frame
with odd, calculated shades,
of bodies flooding into empty space
golden hands, and emerald eyes,
their blurry speech in salty white
an image i use through the night
(every move is the same
at a predetermined pace
it's always the same)
walking out from a roaring sea
crashing,
and pulling again
eternally
i envy all of their days
floating
at ease where they let their heads
lay

The Soil and the Pines

warm rain of summer
fall and wash away the colour
and shake the dirt from my eyes
staring out to the skyline
where i once flew by
and watched below as life revived
we sing with the soil and the pines,
"keep your dream winding to the center"
and dance with the peat and the rinds,
"keep your head hovering in the weather"
how simple how we shift our incline,
"keep your heart running when the end comes"
when compasses and clocks are aligned.
"keep your eyes turning to the summer"
i feel a hunger
burning up from under
my skin and from behind my eyes
warm song of summer
spreading and uncovering
all the joy we've tried to hide
i am only hunger
