imminence
watching her undress
always better than sex
like floating
in the eye of a hurricane
a scent before a taste
a tight fist
an inch from my jaw
a question without an answer
a still yet rumbling train
my father’s next to last breath
we exist only in
imminence
celestial bodies
as I awaken
alone
not alone
she drifts off
thousands of miles away
still in my arms
waiting out an impatient storm
ears battered by unforgiving thunder
alone
not alone
separated by an ocean
separated by a single drop of rain
marching over a delusional boardwalk
sun soaked and scented with sea foam
alone
not alone
she saunters under a flirting moon
our fingers lace
feeling the burn of discordant whiskey
surrounded by flavorless music
alone
not alone
somewhere a sweet red
dances past her lips
I can taste it in her kiss
finally watching the horizon fade
I drift off
alone
not alone
as she awakens
thousands of miles away
still in my arms
destination solitude
at the crossroads of a thousand reflections I find only solitude why wouldn't I rather be alone? sitting on my cloud dispensing my secrets like rain to wandering sheep even the black sheep is still just a sheep trudging through sand picking over the last remnants of a diluted oasis his own shadow preventing him from seeing the truth - we all walk on water
