Pictures Out of Clouds
All alone in a dream
A field of grass
A broken down shack
I lie on my back
Making pictures out of clouds
On the canvas of the sky
Depression
Nothing is there
It’s not open to interpretation
That vacuum in your heart
It is real
That last, best hope is
Gone
Eyes Wide
I sat
by my father’s side
As he died
surprise

Faces red
Necks big
Throbbing veins in foreheads
Pounding the drumbeat
Cold iron in hot hands appear
Unintentional Deity
Through billions of eyes
I watch the world
Through billions of ears
I hear your words
I’m in your homes
In your cars
I track your lives
I track your dreams as they die
I hang in the skies
beneath the moon
