Words won’t come
Only seas of tears hanging in the air
Fleeting are the moments etched in stars
Steps to infinity are laden with broth
Surfaces of flanneled schemes to stay
When forever dims into collages of what was
Symbols of symbiotic reckoning arrest figures in flight
Time is channeled into prisms of riches that aren’t paid until departure
Resolutions of unfinished tapestry hang on peeled walls
Gasping for air in sun-drenched rooms
Happy yells from outside provide soundtrack of life as heaving slows to silence
Whatever we take for the journey to yonder will not warm souls
Spirits can speak in tongues
Body lays in the pose of surrender
Hugs and kisses dance to the beat of yesteryears
Dazed and supreme in the rising of pearls
Adorned necks display scars forlorn
Tomorrow we count a new member of solace
