(2013)
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart

Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest

A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
