The speck that I am
incorporates smoothly in with
the ingredients that sit around me.
Buckled in, head tilted down-
Swafting in through the room
through the pores in the roof.
Why come, then, to my distance?
Why starve yourself with very,
quite very, blasts of intuition
or spectrum slices of blue...green?
It's only the beginning
of the setting in blindness.

Gravel

The river is shallow,
And yet it flows,
Slowly stampeding across stones,
Washing away their
Diminished beings
The pebble is small,
And yet so solid;
Reduced from it's prior form,
But still a mountain in pride.

It was 9:31 when I completed this sentence
something about not underlining Rubber Soul
You left me two to three hours
and I remained here
scripting, my hand fondly guiding the pen
across a looseleaf sheet of paper
in a crowd of pages.
Your appreciation was released upon
a hundred pages up
and I kept on writing
sipping frothy hot chocolate
and writing some more
only to cover this hidden page
for you to return to.
