The Other Side:11.11.16

What to say I don’t know! Sitting here. Swirling lines. Do I want to connect? Pen to paper all that stream of consciousness. Free form. How do we make these connections with each other? We try and try. Learning to relate. To know the other side. …

Sometimes I pause in the night, 

looking up to see the moon,

between buildings and imagine

the desert. Chill and silent.

Only my knowing of the night

with me besides the light

of the moon and the smell

of something sweet. Pine Nuts. 

I don’t know why. I haven’t 

been there to know the smell.

That’s just what I imagine,

as I pass the between space

of the buildings; and the moon

slides away to the city lights.
