spirit

time makes no sound.
the end swallows the beginning.
can a dead man scream?

on semiquaver
i learn the song of jahweh.
a world opens up.

in breakfast at tiffany’s
a sterling silver telephone dialer
is all the lady gets.

the sentry stands guard
as life’s parade passes by.
calmly missing out.

in the inside out
what was dark ends up in flames.
looking outside in.

we have lost a lot.
life’s highway full of robbers.
yet richer for it.
