<font size="16">Floating Dreams</font>
[[Begin->Beginning]] [[Clouded]] [[night]] [[swings]] [[along]] the [[stars]]. [[Pale]] white [[craters]] hang [[low]], [[past]] the [[sky]] [[above]] the [[ground]]. The [[swish]] of [[silver]] [[grass]] fronds [[blooming]] into jewels. [[Somewhere]] a [[song]] of [[millenniums]] [[cascades]] through the [[blowing]] wind.
[[Branches]] [[move]] out along the [[tattered]] [[road]]
Fingers [[cross]] the alcoves of [[days]]
[[Near]] the scintillating spirals down [[deeps]]
[[Lightened]] corners [[dripping]] along [[ceilings]]
[[Faraway]] tenors [[seeking]] [[someplace]] gone
[[Floating]] [[dreams]]

[[Dawn rises]][[Night->Somewhere]] wanes away the guarded
meanderings
of old veneers,
consuming those that cannot
fortune the endings
of tails. Suspect
against the grain of folds, a
livery that is not a part of
choking tapestries.
Falling or fallen,
act without acting.
Blooded save the sanguine.
Nothing to be except to be longing the rise of
a far off future.
Clinking glasses tinge
the sky a color unseen by day.

unknown to fear deigned reaching
sails will toil to waves of
sand as winds pick at
wings of their own to begin
flight past shores
tred by light drenched feet. Waken
lulled clank of grooves,
the sold sensation breaches cracks of
dawn spilled onto the outstretched landscape
until even burned low torches fed by
dripped deep time

[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[A->song]] sordid span of spirals
delve deep into bell laughs ringing
to echo past halls cut in two spilling
over the edge of gained peaks risen tall
by the work of thrown scrap soaring upwards scraping light away from Earth
until even the clouds dare not come close and the end
of calenders marks the beginning
of a time
where children
do not know of
sun's rise
or moon's [[set->blooming]].

into bridges

A wayward song sings [[alight->Pale]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Fargone->stars]] they lie broken.
Inside fleeting a corpse of gathered
gaunts stretch beyond the shattered
plain of those daunted.
I lie.
Filled again and again, seeking out what
found failure, to see no more of
twitching but rather us in eyes.
Globed dripping sidelong glances towards
the swirl of ages long gone, but only now becoming
beholden to the [[world->cascades]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Do->stars]] you seek
a silver strand of
silk stretching upwards
away from dark? Drips
form the cave walls,
old flows new
reaching tender sways lured
by pulls from far off moons.
Longing cannot help but pool
reflecting light, reaching
down to seep the gaps,
tresspass borders untouched by one way signs.
The dam cannot hold
beneath rent cracks,
locked rooms open to
shaking cries made to torn skin.
One day, it will all come
crashing down
against an ocean of
unspoken [[words->millenniums]].

yearning,
foretold of this so long ago.
A longing in the stomach that
cannot abate, sinking downwards without
end, unless again the roiling portend
strikes the skin with abating fury.
Conflagation boils blood over,
the only response is a scream held
upwards past a scratched throat.
Nails biting into covers as teeth

Slow, slow toiling over.
But it is over now.

to the beginning. Down
deeps do winters bring
scents to close the gap
between flying pale
puffs coiling round the tongue.
Silence lies on the skin
as sides tremble. A moment
of weightedness lingers
on the air.
Corners tremble
side to [[side->dreams]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Fog->Floating]] man hallowed dark,
dirge with a forward
meaning lost in mist. Slowly
now, a compact spreads, with
sleep on horizons teeming
without worry. Nothing
to be gained, yet
without fancy.
Simple.
Lay down with wool
in fields awash with silver.
Close again and
know lighted comfort
simmering [[down->along]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Varied->craters]] singes glow peak tops
crimson, downwards past
edges reaching violets
bloom into the air toiling
clouds here and there.
What song laughs
the herald to umber
portraits found
amongst seasoned starlight deep
along voided
drifting [[curtains->Near]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Dragging->dreams]] a raggedness towards the car
seat to see a mountain range of
wool and leaves tinged with
dusk and pumpkins. Roads
blur to the side as faces
come,
go,
greet,
laugh,
cry,
grow excited, grow happy, grow
and grow to settle down before old
sycamores to move old beds and
cabinets along floorboards before
the coming of tiny feet pitter
patter here and there with fun
days after it is their turn to
grow and go beyond and left there
with wrinkles it is only then, realize
what a trip we were taken [[along->Floating]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[There->cascades]] lies a shine
breaking through the
sand. Picked apart by
yielded steel, left
to fend anew
regarded ways into
endless swirls above. What
colors tint the found
hues livened through towards
the finger tips. Touch
each fleck and mote
with eyes alight in the garden
of spiraling suns,
riding atop mounts of steam
becoming a pioneer of
the [[stars->millenniums]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Fog->low]] walls extending everywhere
each a door into the known unknown
a glimpse into a world much
like this one. A second ago,
a minute ago. Each leaf looks the
same as with a brick lying on
the side of the road. But
what of a month,
a year? That same leaf is
not there. That
same brick lies in a broken down
home. A decade passes backwards,
where once on that battered road
there was a house with someone living
in it. One can't recall, the house
was never really there. Just as
it is hard to know if what lies
beyond those fog walls
really existed at all.
After all, the leaf
is still [[here->swish]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Below->night]] greeting call, knocking
against a table for a doorbell
to ring. Static intercoms
blare to respond to waiting
taps of feet before the pulleys
grind to motion for buttons to be
pressed. Inside there is only cheese
and pickles in the fridge and
in the end it is time to go
back down again to get inside
a hang glider riding past skyscrapers
and window typewriters planning to
get away scot [[free->Somewhere]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Hearted->swings]] beneath a story begun
on winter paths, delayed
fortitude stills the lungs
against chills stinging.
I sit down
park benches splayed
onto sides as sparrows
circle the peaks of
piled cars,
wrecked concrete,
steel bars,
looking to forlorn windows
of crumbling open civilization
emptied of the buzz of bones
lying on torn grounds awaiting
new [[bodies->grass]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Dangle->past]] down ropes, ripped
steering trodden past, floating
away there and there in the air,
twisting upside down with
blood rush pooling at once between
the toes and head. Quickening
strikes the limbs, pendulums undulating, to
sip of clouds driving by corners
teetering over the edge of cliffs on highways
until the rocks tumble forward onwards
but the sent gasps drinking deep from
wells into living never
hit the [[ground->low]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[The->song]] ending of
petals, stealing
notes across trenches,
mud slung open
supended tandem felt
roiling curled ball to head legs
seeking bales far flung
from ripped brick rocking chairs
sewn into shelled
dirt wooded stone organs spilling
out onto the plain
where one cannot help but wonder
if this is cruelty's bastard flower
come into full [[bloom->Pale]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Nowhere->above]] dust settles ending in
the field of spreading out against
the landed flowers drifting from
wind distant in air trembles with the
scent of green flows past rivered plains
sways back and forth until again
the stretch of sand meets silt in between
grounded ice ambling on towards a
salt tinged call somewhere beneath
the foam waves breaching [[shores->night]].

narrows, to edges of a chasm

gated slumber tilled. Near

again, an ended veneer stands open.
Harkened, what jewels
could match those harried lives
broken against the unknowing night.
See there five forms wander
on and on
beyond the sun [[itself->move]].
[[Release the dream->Beginning]][[Lie->someplace]] down in ditches dug
with harded hands dulled to
speak of hanging from the
lapse in mercy spent, rent
with time it lingers past

into what should have been
crossed out long [[ago->days]].

Until no corners carry turgid sounds
Flitted to mete bell laughs ringing

Kindle reaching round island oaks

Near again those vaunt gasps open
Twitching away songs lost to milieu
Shallows drip the final hue
Running river down gravel brooks
Felt silence on the skin
Close past deep tenor roots
Darken find unloosed from chain
Pitter past long forgotten days
Fields awash stolen safe
Here to be against the grain
Nearly now, pale craters dance
Along lingering clouds set to stone
Fronds of silver sway blooming into jewels
Aligned against a casket of stars
