The journey in parallels
spined, but the flesh is soft
(and resting on well known harmonies)
let go upside down
asleep during a violent storm
with daylight all is well
caressed by both delight and formality
I am the strength that failed
The sea-sick authority
I don't want to watch out
Libra, restore me.

memory tilts into
confusion
because of debates
that went on forever
strengthened by awful tasks
I now ride high
and light
dear hiding place
you await-
good news for one
both bold and unsure
the didactic dreamer
dizzy with
separation.

the world is weak
within a week
and faded in a shortcut
razzed in half with pizazz
and sorta sad.

except within the taming of brutality

where warm sun shines on two singers.

If I were made of only bone
the only bone after presumptions that die on the vine
the lurching sea of land beneath
my retreat left behind

and bring the pleasant company of memories in solitary time?
I can't be seen behind my mask
an odd paralysis is all that's visible
to be selfish or uneasy
spinning with what goes on and on
before sweet sanity unfolds

Admirers bow to the vibrancy and strength of generosity
and yet it is delicate
a thousand misfortunes may swarm it.
For it's our treasures that we give
and freely too,
since that is all we have to do with them.
to give
to wait
to celebrate
are we judicious and pleasant
when heartbreak is what has earned all this?
Proud towers are toppled in the wake of generous reproaches.
