Girl IN THE MIDDEST

Fragments
ranging in time from 1998 to 2007
(with a big gap in the middle - all those notebooks and scribbles are 700km away right now)

No fear
No fright
No, not tonight
Just gentle love
and gentle pain
and trust
that tears
are healing rain As she slipped into
the warm
darkness of sleep
she felt arms
enclose her
and all her dreams
were of stars.

Caught off guard
by
the hands we are dealt
In the land of lost and found
- Just be a friend,
Speak into silence
with an infinitely tender hand
in this dialogue of one.

her heart is a blur
against the back wall
with the coldness behind
no way out
but forward --
Through the arching sky. Answers move within my
mind, not questions.
And I don't like any of them.
Skyscrapers expatriated.
And in the wake of ironcast chieftains,
sobriety beckons
like the gentle dream
it never was.

Gargoyle
Fighting changes
in vain.
Someone
please
close the lock on my
chain.

Palpitations out of rhyme
Centerfolds out of time
Carols clash, bells chime
One more time
One more time.

Streamline
dreamtime.

Changes and chances
do you good.
Fly and do not
let details hide
the forest.

Iridescent
incandescent
incarnadine.
Velvet? Triptych. Follow the road
Carry the load
Don't step on the toad
princess.

Your emblems I find
in memories and
recollections
of places fleetingly glanced
Run your hand along
a window shop window
and tell it:
Remember?

I give you this
for your consideration:
all across the nation
people are looking for salvation.
Some, too, for exfoliation.

Supplication is suffocation
he claimed
and confidently
stepped onto stardust
and was caught
in the breeze
of a solar wind's
merciless glare.

Ooops?
