falling from the sky in unaligned patterns,
crashing & splashing on the streets & sidewalks.
who would have guessed it would fall here.
a tireless journey that weaved it's way through months & years.
two feet that carried the hurt of ghosts & long forgotten faces.
names & places that crept their rotten fingers back across my eyes.
washing away the dirt & oil baked into the asphalt of my neatly paved dreams.
the sun sleeps for a few hours & the moon takes it's place in the sky.
the stars lend their eyes to you & to me, as somewhere we are both counting them
in our lawn chairs & oversized lazy-boys.
fragments & broken words still desperately cling together to form a bridge.
a beaten path that would surely crumble under the weight of just one of us.
when will we build something suitable for human consumption?
when will we realize that what we can't see, eventually really does disappear?
drag on. away.
show that sparkles last.
maybe your the same without me.
without me.
