Stuff that gets you through the night...

Sometimes a kind word or fitting wavelength is all you need to get up and go on. Herein lie sketches on worthy things that may reach you in some random way. I'll never know their effect on you. I only know, it is for you, that I write them.

Poem: Between skull and space

May 22, 2018

The landing smoke

A joker in waiting

Where kings and queens meet

and commence courting

 

The airy weight

A cobbler's mistake

Where feet meet the ground

and kisses break.

 

The angel in the dark

A shadow of thought

Where waiting is done

and quidnuncs are caught

 

The sense of the strange

arranges the mortal brain into regions of comprehension

between the skull and space.
