Expired desires
Bounce back from the fall, you know a
rope burn can be side stepped and the
fountain barrier can be walked through with a
newspaper over you head.
Get there, take the cross-walk and stop the cars from passing by.
You will notice the
The weight of significance and
The shadow of an angel.
You can imagine the taste of a wishing well and
Witness the temptations of my mind.
There is a silence of mischief
And a subtlety of madness.
The movement of memory elaborates on
The weight of words.
The wisdom of a wish holds
The mystery behind a woman’s eyes
And a man’s disguise-
Accumulating and
So far outdating any creations tied to a meaning.
And so we wait
And so we know there is
Magic behind every moment,
But we lose the second’s
Significance, and so we
Soar away and remember
The message but forget the words
That put it in its place.
