Empty Highway

I.

The riders
take a glance away
from the main road
and pass me
but they never join me
on the empty highway

I follow the way
city streets
daily routines
always on time
for another day under a grey sky

II.

Staring out the office window,
I watch the moody clouds
circle
and move somewhere else
to offer rain
to other streets
the roads where riders journey
with their eyes always forward

III.

It's time to go
outside

I'm on the streets again
and no one joins me
on the empty highway

The Man Left Behind In a Grass Field

Cool summer breezes
brush through a grassy field
in France
and caress the face
of another lonely morning

In a blanket
of blood-red flowers
sleeps a man,
the only man who spends the summer
counting the falling stars,
bombs that break the silent ground

Summer passes
the flowers turn brown
he slowly becomes
part of the still morning,
the fragile earth
that others left
when they marched
into other lands

The cool breeze
blows again
and the flowers
wilt and die

Father's Lost Sunlight

I thought I saw your light
through the window today,
a shard of sunlight
in a cold sea of office glass

I remember
that they told me
that you died for others
like me
sharing
and spreading a light
that bullets could never extinguish

But the uniformed men
really took you on a march
without a torch
down dead-end labyrinths
where black consumed all

Now as the sky
drifting by me
fades
into strips of night
I let my candles shine
for your lost sunlight

Untitled

Today a lightning storm
flew over town
offering its tendrils
to awaken the millions
hibernating in the streets

The beggar
with his face covered
in fragile kneecaps
began dancing
with the twists
of the silver fire
while the business man
complained
that the noise was too loud

The mayor
walked down the winding paths
weaving through a jungle
of electric hands
that he wouldn't hold
and threw his mind
upon the flames
to halt the spreading newness

How the World is Formed

The cooling lava
thick and weighty
staggers
and fights for a place to cover
the naked ocean

In the struggle
jagged
hot flint
cut through waters
drowning the blue
in claws of ashen

The volcano is displeased
and wants more

Its conquering arms
spew
over more islands of water
until the sky is blotted
by its grip

There is a silence,
thick and weighty
and nothing is left to cover

How the World Progresses

Under the buzz
of fast cars
with polished leather interiors
the laptop computers
the simple-minded
high-paying jobs
that all offer the same innocent dream
as MTV starts another new music trend
(that sells millions
and lives its two hour life)
few hear the passage
of earlier days

Everyone
is a deaf child
playing in the streets
when the sirens cry
for action
and missiles
fly over the billboards
and strike another Parthenon
living on borrowed time

They're waiting
to build another McDonald's

The monument took up too much space
