Settled in the restless
midst of night
I road two-sides ways.
The street lamps lights
highlight the margin line,
where soul mix & self-fix
toasty subtle skin
like ambrose within.
Yields the palate
of shadow hunt
I’m testing a lingering jump
quantum way
to embrace the winter hut.
A prisoner of four walls
I'm a ghost of
layered thoughts.
A fresh start shimmering
tends to spill.
Behind the veil
of closed eyes
the hint.

ReplyDeleteUncomfortable feelings bring us to new project, art, poem...Is it not good reward for sacrificing comfort?...~ Thanks!
