century old lawns,
bushes and hedges trimmed flat.
birds gather grass clippings

pull me back down
when I stay in the flow
you're making every thought less fleeting

birds gather grass clippings;
praying they do not erode
in brutal winter.

in brutal winter:
hot cocoa, candles, slippers–
i'll get through alright.

so decisively
the florist cuts the flowers,
stems shaking from loss.

weighing down the grass–
the air is heavy, solid,
it drapes on my skin.

air drapes across skin,
heavy with un-said promise;
the rain is coming.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

the rain is coming
and plants open gaping mouths
to the graying sky.

the water cycle:
today the clouds are still yet
rain drops fall straight down

rain drops fall straight down
but I sigh still in stillless
nights where cries are mute
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond skies with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the trees, circled by the circus sands --
With all memories and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow...

nights where cries are mute
the murky sky with cloud spills
into the still lake
