Awake Again, Watching Clouds Fall

Catalyst wonder capsize
Wake coin hand drowning
Silver bullet smile
Line them up
Knock them down
What price morning
Rain grey cold window
Nevermind the sun
Sure it’ll be back one day

Shudder fickle fancy
Silver of the realm
Restless channel changing
Tomorrow day after day after
Fade point extinction
White noise resolves
Faces leer from forgetting
Laughing we drive
The nails

Paint your face
Harlequin harbinger cackle
Bitter sweet
Preach me pulpit doom
Collar edge-end falling
Pale horse riders
Sunday strolling
Path of pins
Path of needles

Moonrise empty mirror
Butcher’s floor mind strewn
Absent graffiti odes
Riddle me storm woven
Children songs
What a fool I am
Without a river
Time turns the wheel
Grinds it all to ash

Time to wake up

Who said I was asleep?

"Oh I today, sad as Chuey Wong:stumbled to the store in broiling Florida Heat. Cursing for my wine..." I can't give feedback because I like it too much. Especially the poetry of restless channel changing.

So much of this is absolutely quotable. "Riddle me storm woven" Again, like snapshots flickering, almost too fast to concentrate on one single image. Powerful.
