awake

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

some say they read in blood.
i read in black. across the universe. the city of capital. the crush of others.


__________________________

buy the universe is a long place.
with far narrow corridors.
for spies to lurk in.

lovers lurk as well.

herded in the camel guard.

where songs shutter.
as wings to wary gods.
men to flies.



--------------------------



her eyes
are a smile of depth and time ~

She licks them upward to the sky ~


______________________________

then upward it flows
the universal flush
the flood
its marking path
a rain on selves
ringing their night-time
dreaming their day


marking love
like


a

lip

down

the

valleys

of its slope

up the meadows

of

its


Hills
