Twisty toes, stretched out fingers,
somehow there's always a speck
in the eyes.
Leaves often brush the face.
At the top is where I rest,
absolutely none looks up,
they scurry past.
I hear them speak,
words in nothingness to me.
My perch, my throne,
I rule all the delusions
I own, my ghost pals
sit by me. We exchange
a telepathic banter.
It would be disease but they
are friendlies.
I keep them to me
they to me.
When one is missing,
I look for clues
how to get it back.
Was it something I said,
did? I don't want any of them
bumped off.
It’s easier with them
by me.

Teach the girl child of
immaculate conceptions.

Restricting pains to
birthing.

Avoiding the hoopla,
emotional strain, the push
and pulls of the matrons'
yore.

Teach her to be a catcher
of the windborne.

Her clock insists on putting
little ones on my knee.
Prepared for travails
this child's young
firmament.

My mind shrieks.

Lift her heart to her head,
subvert the purposeless
bulls' glares.

Slip her an alternate
reality; simplified bollocks
in sacs a convenient
low hanging fruit.
Easy picking for the
marsupial sac, her lap.

There's growth while wind
blown.
Sails, flippers / floppers,
something is always
sproutin',
navigational aids.

Weeds fall off and
raindrops touch the skin
again.
Altitude reshapes the
sensation,
cyclic freshening.

It is another on the outside
rarely speak your mind.
More often say something
that seems a push forward,
even then
question all you say.
No commonality, no modality,
perhaps percolate self with words.

Lights in the early morning fog, 
antenna to proximity of souls. 
Selfsame I try every night to shut-eye out, 
ward them all off. 

As it lifts they will be thrust
in my face again. 

Look for choices, 
avoidance somehow. 

Sandpaper won't rub them off, 
encroach they will on
personal space. 

I cast too wide, where I sit me down. 
No desire to be people
in people's minds. 
I plead, keep me out, 
distant. 
Not in any thought. 

They are on the roads they build. 
Scurrying about the jobs they create. 
Stirring in the homes they make 

Defying any stillness.
