Liquid Sand Dreams
I
And at the
culmination of
the tip
a shadow cast
Christmas lights
of neon nights
laid upon
a printed shore
that begged you
dig in the clay
beneath
the sifted surface
like brushing the dirt
off the treasure chest
buried at the X
as carrier pigeons
hold wings of hands
and baited breath
waited
weighted
on where the gulls go
what more
could flowers find
to grip sands
into soil
II
from the nebula
drops a solar system
and here I find
a sky beyond the specs
of time machines
you call stars
burning midnights
into your skull
salted breeze
like caramel air
a lullaby
now calls you home
