Them in the thunder
When I was raining
City streets glistened
No one listening while
Walking without wisdom
The hurry the hold on
A minute a moment
The hungered eyes
Them in the lightning
When I was singing
Country song glory
All the information
Less is what some know
I wondered how it corpse
Could happen… Decay…
Monday night a manuscript
In my mind… Like a true
Love that is far away
I wish I was drunken
I wish I was dreaming
I wish I was deployed far from distraction’s positions
Like a taste that has been taken from my touch
Some might say I’m too invested in the road of self
But then of course they haven’t been me
But then of course I’m the only one here
Monday night a music
In the headphones hides
The sorrow for a while
Seducing me into thinking not
Into a dancing trot into this poetry shot
Through with as much patience as I could match
In the instant as Sinatra croons when she passes
Each one goes ooh… I light the tall unusual cigarette
And load another song into the player
And this is no prayer
And this is no push
And these are not practice words pretending
I wish I was high
I wish I was heavenly
I wish I was the hope of your hopes
Slow gowns dress me as I wait for
Naked bliss
Them in the hurricane
When I was the eye
Looking at the stars
Searching for the start researching art
I like fast clothing unforced unthought
Where the words gallop and grow
And this is where I go
And this is what I know
Them in the thunder
When I was raining
Avenues glorious
Everyone umbrella
Under sky not standing
The worry the wash out
The waxing tax of a womanly candle
Still melting without salvation
The saliva in my mouth
Conquering a temporary thirst
Them in the lightning
When I was sighing
Far from science with the strange technology of words.
