equal ends

readwritepoem napowrimo day 30 free day [and farewell]

we were walking
in a current of circles
going everywhere
together

above our heads
gray rainbow clouds
rattling loose a
curtain of rain
thunder crashing
we kept moving
the want not
to stop

unasked we’re
drawn into a
transparent downpour
slows our thoughts
stumbling into a small
shaded sanctuary
we wade within

time crept awhile
until we ventured
out from under the
liquid shelter
no words could
cover

soaked we felt
a dampness
through and through
a creeping chill
of a strange invasion

i didn’t care
it felt free
i never wrote
about that
moment

during
the unguarded
of nothing near
and the quiet
of passing comes
i consider
and contemplate

these moments
such as today
this transient soaring
of a slice shared

bite by bite
a raw unmeasured
minute divided
and halfed

a 30-day
sweet sentence
signals a stay

i say to you
A più tardi

stop n go

flying purple parade tiny little fairies
gold flecked tinker bell fugitive dust
never never land nutcracker ballerinas
musical sounds orchestrating fortunes
the easing salve bitty bites of bewilderment
ferocious fierce loud barking dog
running chasing fast and furious
haunting hallowed heights
next door neighbor far distant land
behind the clouded glass shadowed stranger
she shifts her silk sounds the breaking cracked glass 
social step ladder lead footed feat

stilled in quiet flight
surfing swimming alluvium
tiptoe tantalizing tangoed feet
lucid lies languish
clear cautious perfume
the quiet queer complex feral figure
heavenly pitter patter paws pass
vast village vintage venues
serrated mist mellows monday maybes
across the lane lies the empty lot
through a fluttering fog she smiles
light lace pink slip clinging clutter 
leaves no mentioning mark

morning hollars come brash bickering birds
lubricate the lights of night fantasy flying feathers
curtain flowing wind starry saints singing

standing silent stay there’s nothing here weeping
shoreline breaching walls knowledge seeking might
wet sand sinking rushing wrecking ball 
disappearing disposition crushing bitter bite 

along the waterfront

dearest ledge of the labellum
why didn’t i pick you
why did i walk away

this concrete crisis
detached dilemma
where does the head call home

longing and wailing
battle and bother
my secret revealed

toe tingling
merciful shores
the heart dives and descends

sand and sea
seep and soak
delightful dipp

nothin sticks
lint brush brawl
emancipation stroll

incarcerating indulgence
born by the sea
body swimmin blues

eternity smiled

today, tomorrow
i fell in love with right now
just a small moment ago

heard a concrete word
overflowing with meaning
beyond a touchable time

share with me this one
where a whisper lingers long
letting go you know

this moment has past
memorize within my soul
signaling anew
