smokes, struts, sighs, and sings.

like puzzle pieces, they pair off like salt and pepper
blending together into a single shade of grey
as the shaker breaks
and the glass
cuts
my fingers
i smile because i am happy
but i return singing killing me softly
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation
a light to the Gentiles


i ask only this
why?
trying to believe in salt, pepper, and sand
but they
slip
through my fingers and blend into the earth
like dirt in the universe's eye


eyelids shut
to end the dream
to start the day
to put a face to the blurred people, places and pictures
alligators, bright shirts, no seasons
waking before waking
night before night
morning of my morning


set off my half-a-brain
so that i may finally see what
apparently
i have been missing this whole time
