A Pocket Fuse

7/11/11


I'm saying goodbye to that

sinking

slinking

staring at the clock feeling

of expecting and projecting

then cursing the ending in every which way.


I'm waving so long to the

nighttime

everlong

pulsing pounds of threadbare ceilings

absorbing tocks as seconds die

and my heart stops

then starts

alarmed

moved to gray and black

in tracks along snow

or a railroads under

twinkling seas of lights

and waves

crashes

lashes blinking slow

roll in the reigns before

something screeches and sparks

a fuse

explodes over sheets of piano tunes

splattering the rooftops while

fireflies light on...


The darkness even harsher now

with a love light gone

that's why this hand holds a pocket

No fingers but my own.

No fingers but my own.
