beachbumrach
things are ticking in my head,
rotating, spinning,
a baton that travels
as if its past in a relay race.
migrating around my mind.
communicating ideas.
enter into
underwater - outer space.
submerge;
gain depth,
explore new sights
the other side of the earth.
scenery you can't wake up to.
scenery you don't want to fall asleep to.
an adventurous mystery.
a different dimension;
a liquefied realm.
I waded,
Strung, floating,
on the surface of the ocean,
at the mercy of the waves length...
to the rhythm of its mood.
In the distance,
a texture appeared above the
aquatic desert.
Hope, solidified.
A promise.
Shore.
hollow.
lack of depth,
weightless.
unfulfilled, unsatisified...
not enough.
a crave for substance;
for something more.
imprinted in the sand
under the weight of a person.
a temporary trail,
the manipulation of the earth
how it molded
to ones movement,
leaving a lasting after thought.
i pre ordered boars head oven-roasted turkey slices online,
so i wouldn't have to wait in an inpatient line.
i could just stroll on by,
pick up my freshly sliced deli meat and carry on.
when i got home,
i prepared the stuffing mix.
i placed the stuffing in a neatly packed line
on one end of slice
i rolled up the turkey
until it rested on it's end.
in the oven, it was placed
three hundred and fifty degrees fahrenheit,
for fifteen to twenty minutes
... or until golden brown.
decisions.
morals, values,
pleading promises
little white lies
dressed up in bow ties.
straining for truth
among
smoking mirrors.
the right way to go
is in my direction.
in an forgotten closet
in the back corner of the attic,
i peered in at the clothes rack,
dusted with age
a cluster of clothing hung,
silently and still,
undisturbed and stagnant
for so many seasons.
breaking the frozen scene,
a moth readjusted its wings.
a small, sudden motion,
an impact
the movement of life
within a photograph.
raindrops thudding on a tin rooftop
tap dancing in shades of gray
Paced smoothness,
trusting guidance,
a strong head lead.
Perseverance in tow.
Safe and secure.
Challenged with obstacles,
Blessed with achievements
and victories.
Balanced.
