The Way

Maybe I missed it

maybe I missed it all

a gale within my hands

 

every force from life becomes a strange comprehension

a touch, a glance, a second where the sun disrupts the painter’s lie

 

melting in thought from those valleys where we slow together

a million times a day

 

maybe I missed it

 

the strangling from the tilt suffering beside me

the hum from the hard rubber discovering its own road where the wheels spun away

spreading gravel and stars into a dark forgotten universe

the seduction from a crackle and flash-

 

clouds that don’t negotiate

our disarray

 

the brush of it against your skin coming in from a brief night air

knowing that sense and reason are a language all their own

a quiet crag nested far away

 

a lonely chair sits there rocking

a broken porch lamp where laughter curled beneath 

and the pale puffs of red resting to twilight

 

maybe I did miss it all

consumed with

the bluebirds smiling in the dark

and the taps of laughter beaming through the ground.
