7 may

may we live again and give a scan of mirrors seeing clearly what is there and not the rest

may we pres our hands to the window and take in light to keep inside against the dark

may we dream aloud and comingtrue like steps up the waterfall

may we find our better selves and let them take the rest from here

and out comes no sense not meant to turn left but there is no right to bear correctly directed to the sense of the thing but to bring more loops and certain disappointment on all fronts and faux hunts for a real causes a subjunctive clause as it may be hanging out and doubting the independence of the subject or predicate and bets off the table unstable as a rocker to be off on madly while gladly excused from the truth self-evident and misrepresented like a defendant with no just cause plausible or otherwise unkindly spilling out the truth beyond the point of usefulness and back again to fade

5 may

fading as head explodes to rain
to fall apart into space
to pieces of mind
inclined but unable
hopeful but unstable
wanting to give more
but having less in hand
in heart in pocket in store

4 may

rain at last
and the air replaces
weight of day slipping by
as another calendar cell block
chalks up experiences
delivering the fear of inner tubes
blowing and melting into wheels
to steal the show and paycheck
we can't get enough of
and shove all the bluff of
to fade instead to sleep

3 may

congratulations to the conversation's end
as if the start were quite as clear
though the heart can steer its own course
and the wear is worse than the bite
but the night is longer than remembered
and the sun may be long gone

2 may

pound expounding
play the pay grade
ground down with a frown's own second glance
with a chance of nightfall
where the curtain call gets its own
number busy number wrong

1 may

skip ahead to the next tpart
but there is only the in between
and no means to the end
but a mean end that means
more harm than good
as stood from here
and fear has something to do with
and we stew it up
so as not to overflow
in the undertow that otherwise
would have long ago swept us away
