twilight zone ishly
surprising me
as i step out into the
balmy palmy desertlike
twilight zone ishly
surprising me
as i step out into the
balmy palmy desertlike
saharalike
gobilike
unlike
santa monica
we should all be
wearing white
winter night
for no reason in particular
i feel
festive
we are
beautiful in the darkness
luminescent
twinkle lights strewn
along main street
i cross the street
open armed
”take me”
i whisper
breathlessly
into the loverlike
licking whipping wind
tickling
teasing
breezing
across my skin
awaken me
with clarity
the kind
you cannot see
feel me
in this
crackling dream
next to you
inside me
there are
secrets
at play
in the gusts
& whooshes
silent kisses
something
not altogether innocent
something howls& growls
& giggles
mysterious
curious
strange
there are barely
any cars on the street
at 6 in the evening
are we still on holiday
do you think?
yeah it still feels a little holidaylike
like an unplanned for
previously unheard of
holiday
but
it’s a little wierd
don’t you think?
the something mysterious
that i can’t put my finger but
know enough
to dance perfectly with -
it’s just a little too wierd
don’t you think?
the weather i mean
but
what do you expect
what with global warming
& all
what with 2012
just around
the bend
what with the whole
of seemingly everything
as we know it
as i know it
in such a sweeping
shift
i mean
is it just me?? or
is it
anchors away!!!
way in the middle
of something
so very much
on it’s way out
while so very much
making it’s way in
to what is now
the unknown
asked for
requested
called in
welcomed in
here i am
here we are
here it is
what you feared
what you prayed for
what you cannot control
what you don’t know about already
this is what it looks like
blowing
freak sneak sweet heat
electric with
change
the unexpected
rustles in the trees
brushes up against
my body
i am not scared
i like it
i want to know it better
intimately
i want to dance a little more
with what i don’t yet know...
