Walk it out.

The rain had lasted 16

out of the last 18 days

and with it the chance to

open books and old cds

I ran into Bob Dylan's

anthems and with them-this,

"...Ain't it hard when you

discover that

He wasn't really where

it's at

After he took from you

everything he could steal..."

and I still hang around

the ceiling

waiting for

waiting for

waiting for

Little instances of

escape

Not into myself

But the soft breath

of another

And tell people,

"I really like being

alone,"

And fade away

to childhood

(don't we all)

And listen to those

voices

Carrying me away

to then

Because now

feels

So distant.

I had begun to

awaken

early

as to leisurely

enter my day

As I took

Greta

out for her

morning walk

I noticed

the birds

stirring

more

aggressively

than before

I looked

in the cage

and counted

and re-counted

and counted

again

noticing that

there was

one more

walnut sized

violet brown

hatchling

the next morning

four more

how unobservant

had I

become

from

laying of eggs

to incubation

to flight

and then

full moon

and early

morning

taking me

out to the

porch again

and moon setting

morning

cascading

about fledgling

white wings

illuminated

with

blue-white

light.

ennui II

I leafed

through the

book I lent

you and

you

returned

hoping to

catch

your scent

It is said that unsophistication makes a man empty and that emptiness makes him carefree. It may be true among those who were born dead and who exist like frozen corpses; but the sensitive boy who feels much and knows little is the most unfortunate creature under the sun, because he is torn by two forces. The first force elevates him and shows him the beauty of existence through a cloud of dreams; the second ties him down to the earth and fills his eyes with dust and overpowers him with fears and darkness.
