MORIAH GONZALES 

Songs have simple dreams. They cast their shadows with spark and smoke -
And all things gather at the cusp of a Knowing,
Tremble smitten. A wave of servitude in a Void you can’t avoid -
And a heartbeat that will stop when it’s Snowing.
There’s a Woman in the Sun
And She has your fingerprints
On many Moons.
II
Where the dog sleeps, he leaves the coffee stain of his slumber by dander
and all of your unclutter is drawn to the divet in the shag like an Ape
to a Blonde Chick and a Tower.
You had plans with an Average Day but made it a point 
to be Extraordinary… Brown eyes on Boil.
You like to travel
but Nowhere Arrives
when you Go -
Until you get
there.

Then Everything’s a Lot.
