I am waiting for those giants
That reach their bodies for the clouds
Rock and earth too stubborn to lay low
My legs wiggle in my seat
Gaze glued to the window
Searching the distant horizon
It takes the sun a lap across the sky
anticipation holds my seeking eyes
The golden land around me reaching
Rolling, building gently towards
The edges of control
Something inside my head stays
Tethered to the the ground
While inside my throat I feel
A rising tide
That eats up the space between
There is order here
In the blades of wheat
That gently rock in the breeze
Awaiting perfect rebellion
When the dust can burst free
Until the lady vestiges of order
And control give up
their hold over gravity
And explode in riotous release
The Red Tunnel Slide Discussion
poetry, prose, rant and rave.

Silver arrangements
like diamonds on the dinner plate
you're a specter in that chair
coaxing me with your vacant stare
tangled linens
wrapped around your phantom limbs
you're a ghost in the hall
you haven't slept here at all
toneless words
catching flight on a windless night
calling out to me in whispers sweet
I'll be home soon, I'm coming home
like diamonds on the dinner plate
you're a specter in that chair
coaxing me with your vacant stare
tangled linens
wrapped around your phantom limbs
you're a ghost in the hall
you haven't slept here at all
toneless words
catching flight on a windless night
calling out to me in whispers sweet
I'll be home soon, I'm coming home
