Balancing on glass egg shells

Balancing on glass eggshells

Balancing on glass eggshells

Balancing on glass egg shells,
riding a cosmic wave into tomorrow.
Dreams of remorseless phased transititions,
without end or clear meaning.

Bright pigments fading out into dull pastels,
graduating into a pale simulation of colour;
reflections of years washed by an old man’s tears

More strong coffee, in the early sun,
slowly waking up, a rooster crows,
the sun sprinkles through the trees,
dancing tangos with the breeze

Another old man sits in the sun.
Listening to cars drive down to his street.
Smoking another cigarette,
under a strange looking snake tree.

Beams of excited electrons
strike my face in morning’s gentle light.
Close my eyes and view a spectrum of movement,
dancing in the dreamtime

I’m like a prisoner in this garden,
walls I cannot touch,
places I cannot reach.
Food I cannot eat,
air I can’t breathe.
Solitary refinement

Where will this twisty path lead?
Floundering onto sand?
Lost in the woods?
Awash on a far ocean?
Away with pixies, fairies, and hobgoblins?

Should one more soul walk beside me;
yeah that would make a thousand souls.
March with me to the end of the earth
and back again. March on!!

Splintered strings of light,
riding a wave train 8 minutes thence to hence.
No return. Single, one-way trip.
No reflection. Slow absorption.

Streaky UV, fading my vision,
obscuring the sharpness and brightness of light.
I fall thru the moire of your complacent, weary recklessness.

2:07 PM Apr 19th from web

Falling thru the grainy gaps
between reality and the real world.
Slipping between hardened edges
and softened meanings.
Back onto your feet.

8:01 PM Apr 19th from web

Eating soft bread, margerine and sliced cheese.
Seating lost ahead with tangerines and autumn breeze.
Down by the seas where the tide flows.
