Still working on proportionate defaults
I’m on my way, leaning life collects me
Removing salt from my eyes
Paying me a glace, swaying in the warmth
Like a swing on an old Victorian porch
Semi autonomous, unfolding mobiles circling
Pointing true north.

Oh, the astonishment of out-of-the socket eyes
Metaphysical screams fire to the dying
Showing
Photographs of children clearly seen
What was, is and will be, expressions facing the wind
Hungry and Abandoned
Wandering like ghosts trapped inside a dark spell
With small swarms of flies
Picking bones clean and dry, thirsting at the well

But to look inside, dead center toward each aura
Written minds pull up along side the highway
Recycled music intercepted by the ear canal
Pushing the penetration of thoughts into something real
Attracting a new breed obscure calling aloof
At four in the morning, eating vegetarian lasagna
With an alarm clock way overdue

Still, we are all stone goddesses with good intentions
Body fat loss bridges small gaps between large places
Like the addictive java beans we clutch to every morning
Hiding in the aroma, where random strangers meet

I wonder where hot wings lie on the food chain
While smoking a cigarette watching morning rise
I’m compelled to clutch the life form before me
Seems to me, time implies summoned by excitement
So…whataya say, we all get jiggy with it?

Lee, I sometimes wonder how your mind works, and where you find the inspiration for such detailed writings...

hot wings on the food chain...that's cool
