What was the question?



Time, like money, isn't tangible 

Neither is love, truth and what

is real-

made up, rounded off, different

for you and I-

what is real...

And yet, some

times

are frozen or elapse slow

and many too fast to enjoy

Enough-

What about dusk-sunset 

or dawn, or the times

I look at the clock and it's the same

Times-day and night.


Well, what about a pastime or a memory,

Truth be told from one 

person in a place with

Nothing-

is real

for you-for anyone...


Do blessings count?

Terminal Velocity



The blur through a window

from a moving train-

Escape is jumping

Off-another adventure


The temptation to forget

Your given name-

Every thing is new

Once


Or more, 

how many places and things

to see

versions of yourself


Landing 


Through the pane.

Aloha




Everybody's Home

Burns to the ground

At some point

The scenery changes

Like that

Old memory of

Open fields

Filled in with

Buildings

Now 

Vacant and

Antiquated after

Remote working

Everybody's Home.

High Cue



Sap from heart-wood drips-

Honey, no one would call It.

Can you Smell the sun?

Summer times


Some days smell like

Freedom.


I was with a bad (hu)man for

Far too long.


Often heated,

Bad habits, scarring and some


Evil-

Bloody mess...


Honest, my guts

torn asunder 

then more

Limbo, a sense of 

Death...


Dante,

One could say-


Then


In some particular way

the sun felt extra good today,


Felt my skin thirsting and gulping

every atom, warm and


Yum...


Like a perfectly ripe peach 

cannot be devoured without a

Smile.


Pure and True.


Each peach- the same and

Anew-

Even though, simplified

Into


As above, so it is

Below. 


To grow or die

this time around

the Sun.

Forest


 

Still the aftermath

Trees reach tall and wide, like We-

That is All-she wrote.

Tepid



June thunderstorm

barrels thru

Humid-but isn't that wet

Anyway-All the little

People say "Climate Change"

But isn't the climate always

Changing-


People in a room,

Stars that collide and

Rainbows that break the mirror of 

Sky, 

as night and day

do not feel the

Same.


Never before is not impossible

or infinity imploding

As in a 

Cause to worry,

never fear

the constant Change

passes thru.

Tres (trace)

Water Today, warm raindrops glass blurs, the blurry glassy, sharp sparkles sugar. Behind Evening, it was good. Leaves all turned into shadow...
