Resting uncomfortably
...my eyes watch the downfall
...of your eyes.
The downfall of the "Leonardo Highway"
uncomfortably sitting
...with mouth open and face white
phoning the world
to find new anxiety
in a free verse.
Imagine --
one man in the cosmos
the saint of vanishing dreams
Blue limbs, gold draperies
the child of The Baptist.
Rushing the ending
...because The Baptist is so strong.
It just came into view
...so rush it!
Use it for the final squeeze --
...sister
