and I out spokin the strum of a spoke string guitar
bending the leather sides of sky ways around
my face like cellophane bandages of unhealing
when the wind takes my breath away slowly
and gives me back the salty spit of cpr laughter

I imagine the cobwebs are gypsy girls with empty eyes
watching my sounds move their secret linen things
so scantily clad over the shadows they hold hallowed
and then they lather the lights on to silhouettes
with the stiletto iron of dancing shoe moan songs

while the sipper birds without wings that lean
on their wood grained coated purgatory mantels
reciting how lovely windows are instead of highways
and how safe the sound of sighing is compared to thunder
and then they drift off to folded arm soldiering

waiting for the men with boards to make them saintly

A feeling of sadness filters through this exceptional write.
