I have found that tunnel in the sky sometimes
where the wind moves my face around on the bones
as if a child were playing in leathery clay

when lonesome rain drops strum the spokes a note at a time
like a gypsy lover that isn't blind, but has her eyes closed
and is playing with her own heart instead of her hands

when the echos of a metal man's thunder find the mirrors of the sky
and come back with their brothers louder then before
as if noise would cause fear to one that never listens even to god

and then there is that quiet place in short sleeves waiting
like a stop light with both feet up balanced in wondering
will she ever be there if I close my eyes and dream

or should I just pretend she is on another man's highway

You tattoo with your sensate script
ink eyed roadscapes

slaking the wanderlust
of papered flesh

and igniting it
in mine

Thanks for the pleasure ride.
