He cracks whips
Way up in the sky,
I hear him
And he hears me,
A mutual nod
As if we needed one
I'm undone by it,
Lost to it,
A perpetual feeling
Of "Where's Waldo"
Stains me,
But the rain comes
To find me
...it always does
A dripping sound,
The hell is it?
Where are my sturdy boots?
My branded leather
Shouted up from
The master on high
That comes in gaudy
But rivals elegant
Have we forgot who we were?
The Simpletons
The skeletons
Stealing Suns
To better accept
The ancient ones,
Although now
I'm not sure,
We all lied
About who we were
And the rain could
Do away with tall tales
Or feelings of being unsure
The subtle cracking
The drips and drains
The washed away memories
Or erroneous sympathy
Does nothing for me now,
I'm a voyeur to it,
A visitor
Of what's to come
The meteorological wonder
You hide from
Always an experience
My friend.
