look

far into the sky
see the lines of earth
breathe the touch of flesh
run into mind
leap easy across vast mountains
dripping gems of clarity
a dew upon the leaf

-Lahmadaj

throw it over here

the bone

toss it high into the sky

see its twisting spiral descent

wonder of its internal lattice

easy for the eyes yes

looking to the sky

and imagine the reality of freedom

the cage of person

the relief of one

imagining the possible

touches into sweetness

the only one


-Lahmadaj

spoken

to the ear of one
Jupiter high a path to moon
can't believe the shine
light inside warm curved surface
easy to see

one day
hope for
something

near to the excitement
and power below

will look for you


-Lahmadaj

hey look

family

i'm not a loser

forgot to e-mail you to let you know

i've got my own apartment now

i even have a few friends

not saving the starving children

but i feed a lot of them music

hey look

i'm not a wasted soul

got my own place

got a job

made a friend

moving up

i think i see the beginnings of air

pulled from the earth


-Lahmadaj

there are his eyes

looking at mine
he tells me words
out loud

he rarely says what's below
this burns

seems alive and smiles
touches lips
can hear breathing

what depression
to have the infinite light
hidden

looks at me
lost my shining
sometime in the years
thinking of when this all stops

i'll wait and wait and wait

may be birds


-Lahmadaj
