And Then Some

A specific locale could be
ambiguous
                          & so indeterminate
numbers exhumed
just the fingers (alleged)
“The Deed”

Dust of palm trees, beach
sidewalks stained the
night around you the color of a blade

To know that you can walk away
is enough in
time the colors fade

you fall to your knees
hear voices, see God, etc.

Maybe one silver tear drizzles
down yr cheek (a page ripped from the
Book of Rain)

The empty circle, the vacant lot, the
beach deserted & the horizon
too dark to see it but if you could you’d
know exactly just how far you
have to go
