Poetry, Part the Third

song for a cracked earth

somewhere:
in the icy nebulousness of altitude
& that tremulous treble
of drifting clouds
weightless in the aether
aloft in a fugue of fleeting
images---forgetfulness is all.

in sleep, near the darkness
distant mists of dreaming,
the substitute for substance
singing songs to empty evenings
crying endlessly for eternity.

in dreams, ideas flying
amidst hazes of high-pitched
humming filling spaces
quiet spaces between
the waking memories.

in remembrances cold & vague
motionless by moonlight
angles austere in the chill
isolation of that solitude.

in that nowhere that is everywhere
there might be some of
you might find a piece of you
in me.

where we
can be
together.
