Mid life crisis dodging in the shadows of cracks in the floor. The achy bones of upright years stand tall in the way of trying to fight it.

Triumph averted and transformed to life lessons and cautionary tails to the youth as satisfaction of touching these feet to the ground.

Flaws flushed and buried to reveal the divots of genetic hurdles cemented to the ground.

A perspective that can swallow the soul and surrender the ego to be the creeping vine suffocating the pipe dreams.

Revelations upon the spotted logic in the ether to allow the gunk to bleed out shameless and worn as a badge of courage to separate from bondage to other’s judgement of the same cross to bear.

The same sky under chains and master’s meal

Gazing memorized by the drift under the horizon calling cattle home from the field

A promise of sweet chariot reaching towards the Big Dipper. One day escaping the office rat race bloodied by the whip

Twitching and fidget to test my legs on the pristine array of mental escape in nature

Sunday gospel poking holes in the grace of dropping to dust bruising the crop and dip damping the market.

Shadows of muddling past the veil of false vision one that only sees survival. Fear the only weapon to lock in a life of convenience.

Your crown has been paid. No color. No distinction. All shamed in DNA made of U.S world consequence in a spot above the mountain top where I dry my tears.

Skipping by the rear view of rocky roads slick on snow puddles.

Bursting books opening to new levels of mind stimulation and snappy naps itching with grass and ant dances on bare legs.

Winding down to the star sparkle breeze pulled far from hazy memories scarred deep in lessons learned.

Soon to fill the desperate need to mind out in morning respite. Pondering the coming sunrise to bring the rest into lighthearted eternity snapped into reality come September.

Goodnight dark moonlight fallen asleep against the sun

Was I dreaming up pretend

Scared to love you

Scared to not.

Stuck in a wagon made of steel

Clouds in the sky pass over sunny delights spotted in daydream

Pulled back emotions to pop it’s lid off a swarm of dandy lion pollen blowing wishes upon your doorstep

Tattooed a grip on my heart never to be spoken

Lost to mysterious Cupid cleaning the grit off the magnifying glass, amplifying terror.

Waxing and waning in between cries of tomorrow’s summer days

Smiling with me as I witness the tear along fate’s long feathers.

Sizzling brain pops profound non-sequiturs bubbling off into the blue sky

Scattered post it notes along the bridge connecting the space between the ears and following the sorrow and sweet rushing down each chamber of the body.

Sticky life building stops signs and detours to reach an unknown destination, passing a graveyard of could have beens with angels attending to resurrection.

Someday maybe bolts of lightning will scorch an epitaph etched in hieroglyphic evolution of an eternal perspective through a tiny lens in which the iris carries the world.
