roaring spin
of time
moments cascade into yesterday
like a waterfall in a dream
a flower
a stolen hour
a superpower
a viper
a sniper
a windshield wiper
spin in the eternal eddy
as the man behind the mask
harbors secrets
hidden meanings
glimpsed through patchy fog
too dangerous to share
with anyone but you
all the rocks and all the stars
the reasons poetry and symbolism exist
I'm just a visitor
a loner with a boner
in the star magnificence
an existence
devoid of meaning
and grace
the battered corpses of love
strewn along my tracks
yet still there is wonder
us
them
uncertainty
the unknown
the astounding scheme of things
hypnotized we wander
Casanova
a supernova
Martina Navratilova
a candelabra
a chupacabra
choose the next palabra
time sails by on the breeze
and yet
like you
I stand my ground
in for a penny
in for a pound
along for the ride
starry-eyed
and hanging on every word
this blast
from the past
brought to you by
the
lingering
essence
of
me
