Slow, as your road tires of its coasts, and sheds its metal coat over tar, to run bare in the November dust, into wind, its unrest like sutures of rain, seamless, at last dims and reaching, falls short, too slow to touch me in the night, this night the color of ash, of ember immersed in haloes, wreathed in lonliness and caged by quiet, incessant as the light grows later and a little more useless, marking my fall by the shot of a slow, slow bullet, its heat spreading like thirst instead of by this silence that swims over me, hard-edged, inconsolable and all-consuming, as it rises to loom at the ends of the bloody chains I drag, snag, snarling and barking at what onslaughts they guard, but alas, no bulletproof soul, this. 2004 copyright babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

Very beautiful. Loved every word. I gotta archive this one... "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |

instead of by this silence that swims over me, hard-edged, inconsolable and all-consuming, as it rises to loom at the ends of the bloody chains I drag, Felt me a twinge in ma achie breakie heart I did, I did  |
