RETIRE MY MIND

Tonight

I lay in the calm of a blowing reed

searching the indigo sky

for the call

of the Whale heart of the Universe.

Between the sounds of crickets

and the soft banging window

in the distance

I still see her laying in the bed.

Even if

she would look out and see me

It would have been

long in the past since I am the future.

The smell of the ground

and the

long urchins of this embankment

cling to me

as if I was one of there own.

How many windows

have been

pondered in the name of love?

How many deceased affairs

have loomed

the skies above as Stars?

Tonight

I belong to the eternal void of God

where separated from people

the globe

will continue to turn sideways.

Refreshing smells

embark its crusade

and hammer my senses

liken the room where we made love.

Woman of touch, hearing and smell

I feel you

in the verbiage that transcends.

Envelope me here on the bank

and bring me

to your awaiting gale wind.

I am so tired of this World

I want to come home and retire my mind.
