Your eccentric behavior bizzares me

Dismissive, he described me. I was only respecting his work space. Isn't it odd - now I'm on the other side, thinking to myself: I don't read your inner abstraction; unless you want me to. We have different communication styles - I print, he calligraphies.

 

Double Third

I scarf down caution stickers,

safety off the floor

Yet my heart is still beating with electricity,

excitement, propelling something into my body

I have felt before

Spontaneity left,

survival settled in

I looked the other way when music played

just like I look away from

...

 

 

Coaster

I felt lexically homeless

when a whale spirited in

He played wind he whistled

Finned through me

There are many many other ways -

he thought to me

 

Dancing through it all,

twirling away

can't stop feeling

for the traps under my foot

And if I find them

I'll grow

And if I don't 

I'll fly

Letting go

Watching myself

trying on a trick

to disappear

Letting go

Making a new habit

of not standing in the way

of the dance

Tell me, how did we get here?

I hear gunshots in the dark

ripping echo through the nightdreaming woods

Tearing the lace of life

residue of lead, fear

Smokefall blanket for all of us

Missed heartbeat

My feet sweating tears not in my eyes
