In Brief

Ghostly skin
I wear it so easily
Draped upon my arm

Burning light from the omniscient eye
known by so many names
through all of our existence

Your voice still sings for me
Your words still hang in air
You have become part of me

Dreams torn apart
rearranged
such strange beasts

Reaching for a hand
Finding it
Holding it
Asking where is
the destination

Primitive beneathe our civilization
Proud creatures of the Earth
Have we forgotten our nature

Restless sleep in summer heat
Whirring fan
Open window
Restless people of a burning city

A bud blooming
Fiery red
Unruly flower
What can be done
Memory and shadow
A haunted image

Fragments
Words tossed
and left
Create meaning
from nothing
