[bodytext] => Sitting under the lamplight at midnight, I break the mortared silence with the strike of a match. I have a pocket full of camels and a sky filled with large elephant like raindrops which fall slowly through an asylum of orange lamplight resting over me. i watch them descend downward to walk about me crooked and cumbersome, like some Dali portrait upon the pavement. they breath and pause for a moment to stoop in their long legged prose. gathering to reflect in a puddle on the corner, by someones words i had heard earlier that morning. In the leaves i will put them i think. Maybe the passing wind will do me this favor and carry them off, leaving no sense of direction or guilt. but like a good subject i sit very still for my portrait. to sail with lock and key through the shadowy chambers of solitude, waiting their holding night by the wrist I sit curbside.
