a brief visit extended california returnsa brief visit extended by `YouInventedMe
painting
panting
portraits of love
etched in endless steps
and slanted streets
stretching sunburnt limbs
its languid strides
like solemn hymns
collapsed breathless
in the grass
'round grace cathedral
it finds hope
secondhand
but still potent
its thrift shop moments
making
better use
of battered truths
than those intended
it makes belief
not makes believe
that nothing's ended
our aging season winter comes in wavesour aging season by `YouInventedMe
warmth enough to leave you weak
softly slips away
Fall in America they say our forefathersFall in America by `YouInventedMe
fought for this
but my
emancipated
belief is
the state of these
united shapes today
would break their
hearts
into fifty
pieces
Anomalous lady in
incandescent light
we are kinless - and foreign
but your dress
I clutch vainly at its hem,
with its infinite stars,
and lines
that never cross.
this freedom counts costs
in loss
and lives
reviled and resized
to slip through cracks
displaced
displayed
on dollar signs
Why shiver
in your own confines?
The telescope's ring
has worn thin,
a constant
coast-line vigil,
searching for midnights,
scanning the skies
for fireworks
but what's worse
is
It's Hot
