Every morning without coffee is dark and cold
The lab order for blood tests specified “fasting”
Forty-five minutes waiting with the hopeful,
their fingers crossed waiting for a winning hand . . .

So the grand-paned windows
the pale painted galaxy blue,
the hurried-harried passers-by,
this Grand Central;
It alone bears witness to the nervous first approach;
two fauns, each approaching, near, back . . .

The engine misfired, explosively,
Ere its echo could fade,
A clap of thunder rent the air,
From, wings of startled birds.
Goggle-eyed with panic en-masse,
That horde of feathered folk,
Ascended skywards . . .

On the night of her birthday
I dreamt of her
And we were young again
And we laughed and played and made love
And the morning came
And I awoke happy.. but only for a moment

Dunes with no blowing sand,
Hair not mussed by fidgety wind
Regardless the horse’s bouncing gait;
Nor is sweat produced from relentless rays
On vistas, bluish-white--

It sits there like
the metal crossbar
in front of the railroad tracks
where I am first in line
All my windows are open
The wind and energy

as lightning flashes in the village square.
Passion rises and falls,
in rhythm to native drums.

lies the wind chime above the door,
harbinger of passage,
cacophony of inharmonic chords
that lie harmonic within us;
In the balance,
lies the pendulum,
its deafening . . .

I sojourn in the wilderness,
as my robes become disheveled,
and dirty.
Each day,
I'm chasing mirages,
finding strangers' tents
on the desert sands,
of time.
To long
