Lonely Bus Rides to Berkeley Marina

the ocean is on shrooms this saturday evening

with the sunset skating

like birds of freedom over its

back it is illuminated

indigo velvet



with my soul gaping as wide

as my mouth at its beauty i wonder

what god brought me here today cause

every impromptu bus

ride to infinity always works out

15 minutes on the pier leaves me

gasping

no one has ever been as alone as i am

and no one has ever been as thrilled



suspended in the middle of the ocean on a wooden

walkway backlit by four cities i know i am

no one

i am comfortable being

no one

simply waiting for words to begin the next story of my life

simply love in between time

time when

i love myself innocently merely because

i can



crowned by goldengate and smoke

i walk the city alone

i learn pathways of concrete

and blood

i navigate the streets and now,

my heart-

effortless it takes me to the most profound places

i have ever seen

sometimes i feel i can only find them

when i am concentrating



every day i open a new door

to myself to

the world

like tonight i can describe the

water

the water is on shrooms the water

is telling me about how much it would have hurt

if i had drowned my entire life in it/ the water

is telling me it is glad it can see me again

and unveil its secrets

to my perfect open

ear
