Hit the breeze

little movement on the outside, looking down, peering down, facing down over the queue of cages on precarious angles humanity in miniature moving toward the fine end the .07 lens scratched into cave lines too thin to see what if it's ended you think it could be ended any time any time soon any time a thousand million years ago looking back you can see the crystallized civilizations on mars now red with inert dust of ages piled up or swimming in the gelatinous sea of pre-history azure gurgling waves bodies on the shore pointing toward montana-like rising clouds like big blue sky montana with clouds that dwarf man's greatest tallest invincible steel god-buildings and white capped waves crash and dinner bells all across america clang in the after war years drawing to a close just before you were born in a simpler time gentler time a time with more time than now slipping away on some open thought that rings vibrant green open golden sun falling sky on western shore horizon swinging off the primordial cliffs of pacific coast endings far from here far from whose eyes can see fleeting blear-like eyes tear like eyes falling as sheets of rain over northern roads swirling winds updraft from flat land grassy land lift up your shirt head body toss in the wavering voices of the mad lost souls you can channel them on the television reality just after the calm just before the plunge blinds rattle eyebrows stiffen lashes flicker flutter slicker in the tar night beyond the day the mask that hides the endless stars

For Anna

hands
stretch and reach
through ages
knead dough
of life and bodies
hold hands with
other hands long
gone

listen to silent
cracking clouds
lift off earth and
pierce sky

a singularity pulsing
blue flames and
carving time like
wood rainbow
dripping

hands
stretch and reach
out, molding faces
eyes and nose
and soft outer
shell

listen to hollow
halls of the soul
and memory
they are burnt into
walls for all to see

acorns crushed by
roaring cars
an alleway etched
as forever
a momentary drop
of time 
in pools of love
scattered about
our milky way

at last

at last

holding hands.
