Into Speeding Dawn
The
watershed has lifted, its stellar sigh imbued with teetering companionship,
championed by wrought-iron gusts of yesterday’s stormy passion. Today’s already
breeding immutable intent, flowing from dimpled cheeks of newborn babes to
qualities unrecognized in everyday routine.
Creatures
settle into voice of natural habitats, blend silently in deep-sea yearnings,
perfectly suited to surround. A frozen hand emerges, deep in thought, to
scratch an ear of corn from fertile soil, feeding untold stories back to
surging power’s eminently grateful maw. Distant sheen of working man rescinds
elusive slumber’s quiet bliss.
Storage
vacates elemental ways for municipal tides, sweating into swarming quotidian
gel. A balled pellucid coil, immersed in wisdom, turns thematic motives into
play, tapping on replicated footfalls, pumping with controlled ferocity.
Urban
eyes and ears, excited in tandem, respond in kindred respiration’s ambitious
haze, stumble into shower cocoon of warm impending ambience, erotica erased for
now. Byways already filled, coursing night continues into speeding dawn.
