sometimes i think life's complexity
is our way of making the simple
fit the human condition.
don't you think?
i also think that statements
that are so melodramatic
should be restricted to
the afternoon.
but that just me.

a new york night in memphis
new york boarded
her plane landed
and the taxi driver hit
on her, different than
the others he fit
in his car thus far
later on
its colder at home
she thought over lipstick
he should have known
she'd be late to this
meeting for dinner over blues
the next
song that played
told stories that seemed
too closely relayed
their thoughts intercede
silently connected
to each other
this seemed normal
to wait your entire life
to travel and be formally
introduced to the sight
and touch that would be
the rest of your life

a memphis breakfast in new york
memphis boarded
the airplane, his window lies
next to winged freedom that flies
overlooking memphis skies
gently fading to the night
later on
the drive to his hotel
racking his mind as to what she'll
be wearing with her coffee and bagel
making early conversation as their inhibitions fell
the next
morning came off sweetly
she had the omelet, hold the meat
he had the peppered ham to eat
they watched the people, hardly speaking
to each other
this seemed normal
waiting your entire life to travel
one thousand and ninety-eight miles
only to be more entangled
in a beloved silent lovesong

wild inside...
"Such a horrible idea has come into my head, Su."
"What's that?"
"Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men started going wild inside, like the animals here, and still looked like men, so that you'd never know which were which?"
"We've got enough to bother about here and now in Narnia," said the practical Susan, "without imagining things like that."
-Prince Caspin, Lewis

thy stag
mine assembly follows closely
my blood even closer
thy wood strangely familiar
bright tree of steel intrigued her
holding fire like the night
thy stag white as powder
leaps and strides ever faster
mine assembly falls asunder
whilst my sisters rise above them
holding fire like the night
thy wish that would be ours
finds ourn eyes wooded deeply
caught beyond this world and thine
and the heart that would be mine
holding fire like the night
my blood even closer
thy wood strangely familiar
bright tree of steel intrigued her
holding fire like the night
thy stag white as powder
leaps and strides ever faster
mine assembly falls asunder
whilst my sisters rise above them
holding fire like the night
thy wish that would be ours
finds ourn eyes wooded deeply
caught beyond this world and thine
and the heart that would be mine
holding fire like the night
