Off Balance
i lean into the sky
always off balance
the sharp horizon askew
tilted into the gray-blue clouds
that veil of uncertainty
a crooked journey
with jagged shards that mangle the fragile heart into pieces
and cosmic depths that make whole with awe the heart again
may it never end

Serrated Sky
I walked past a homeless man, a derelict human being with deep lines cut into his forehead as he slept on a fractured sidewalk beneath a blue, threadbare tarp that snapped sharply in the breeze.
I quickened my pace, shuffling between the broad shoulders of two abandoned buildings looming over me, their skin of cracked brick and broken glass an echo of possibilities negated and forgotten.
I glanced upward.
There they were.
There they had been.
Hovering high above me as silent witnesses to the muted madness far below.
