Like angel wings

Over our head

Brush strokes sink

Into the blue

Fades as they move east

We are madness running

As if the full moon pours

Through the dark of day

Walking in full stance

Dancing to the day’s cues

Rhythm and moods

Their shadows wane in the light

While the moving clouds turn.

I think of one of these

Long stretches of highway

You know where the trees reach

So high you’d swear

The leaves were blue

And the clouds make them

Sway as they pass

I look at you

And you bring me back to now

I think of your life

Somewhere in the world

The place you occupy

Fits in your way

You wear the day

With a dark pride

You let its shadow

Spillover you

As your waltzes

With concrete and chrome grill

And the flash of glass

From the late afternoon sun

Gleams in your eyes and smile

You pucker a kiss to the wind

It’s just how I feel about the world
