Outside

I love the way the light glistens
From the artificial lamps
Outside after it rains on the
Black asphalt canvas
Every which way you turn your
Head is a different spectacle
Like the dark matter of the
Universe is looking back at you
Listening for the low hum
In the backdrop of fall morning
Wields a faint ocean-like roar
As if a lion is hiding around the
Corner waiting to devour us
Blinking lights in the distant sky
Remind me of taking a trip
To Thailand of course this
Could also be extraterrestrial
I’m not opposed as every morning
Coagulates a new planet and
A new beginning somewhere
There are dark moments
That dance with me in the
Coming attractions of
Celebrating the unknown
Inaudible messages

Rain

The rain is falling
Can you feel it wash away
Your cares of yesterday
Like a bath of
What we look forward to
Tomorrow together
Into a stream
Of ghosts
That will no longer
Haunt you
Into a puddle
Of bullies
That will no longer
Taunt you
Into a creek
Of pain
That will no longer
Harm you

Let each trickle
Find it’s way
With gravity
Power down
Rushing into
The sewer to
Remind you
It is safe
To start over
Again
