Headache

All the running 
And I don’t know where I was going with this
But
It seemed important enough 

Grace then woke me ’round mid-nite
From the dream
That was someone else’s 
And giving me small rest

To be

You on the savanna not in khaki 

Bygone-era flashgun held high at high-noon

Since you know there’s more than meets the eye

A yellow hat, but not exactly

Irritatingly inhuman level of patience for them

Misplaced monkeys beside you

Under the black cloth with you now

Looking for the simple

Sudden Stops

Not through dark glasses 
Will I look toward 
The brilliance of you
That fiery-blue that explodes from that you
From where when I let you come home, I opened the door
To distraction, destruction, the building back up 
The giving of pause, the noticing all
I let you let me see
Without Caution

The Clear

Those pockets full with what trouble? 
Bulging 
Dragging on the classic, red Super Sport of you 
Discovering nothing great by the time all is said
And done and the credits roll
Empty that
Leaving a trail of the bits as you walk through
To the clear 

received

In the morning
Later than now if not already
Well after you’ve stirred about
The smallest voice if not the thunder
Will call to you

Will you hear I’ve asked before
When it won’t go away notice
It’s resonance in your moving feet
That have come awake
In the morning
