where does the sound enter
the night sides sky
is it there behind the be ba yo
where the alley cat is metal

I can see the gypsy man
with his ears in cans
and his hands in fingers
that reach to cars for wine

I can see the shape shift trees
playing with wind women
in their short dresses
with pale peeking limbs seeking

like long legged neon children
wading through the whisper bush
searching for a father
that doesn't say highway words

when in anger or in love

You ran the gamut here
from children to old men
and then circled them
as one...

Excellent work, DS.

sounds to me like levitation combined with meditation?????  Course, just may be my mind set this morning, but...either way, you do most certainly transport the reader into a comfort zone...one of harmony and tranquil moments....

thank you all for your eyes..

by the way...a clue into this

bed, bath and beyond with some letters burned out....a parking lot by a freeway at 2:30 am...and echos from dreams and a wind blowing carrying sounds....etc etc

you fly
over the bridge that stops most of us
then come back to show your treasures

A parking lot by the freeway at 2:30 in the morning..?  You weren't by chance practicing wheelies on your motorcycle now were you?

Playing catch-up is fine when the poetry is written in day-glow colors!
