been walking
slower of late
letting eyes linger
like snow in April
keeping pace
with kicked stones,
Sisyphus is not
in my thoughts;
do we inscribe trees
with our dreams
so they may live forever
even when they end,
or we may live forever
even when we end?
voyeur is the feel
less I tap the bark
no wishes in my hand
and no space on the skin,
Alcestis is not
in my thoughts;
a rubberneck flower
turns, lingers on me
jealousy, a bee in my hair,
or maybe I am the sun.
there is a pond
full of tadpoles
waiting to sing
me to sleep,
Endymion is not
in my thoughts;
jump into your local volcano, kids, it's the only way to become a God.
