Of God

It was an amazing first time for the amazing last time
His fingers on the glass linger less than his lips
An arm an elbow and the mouth wide open

All around there’s the crowd, eyed up and
With a thousand ears and even more tongues
Rushing out of toothless mouths

White is not a color nor emptiness a space

Then the hands didn’t tremble no more
The metal of the counter started softly speaking of disasters
Broken bones, solitude, crazy twisted flowers, long gone pictures
And the way she stole my car
Laughter. The flow. Then she laughed louder
And he moved and she dreamed and they met
It all dissolved. A bubble of gold.

See I’m happy I talk and there’s a meaning
Alone in my bed otherwise sitting on a bench
Crossing two streets and pushing one door
Is a daily routine I can’t stand no more
Please come visit show your legs your brain your smile
My friends appreciate
I appreciate
I’m the one who made you after all.
