Mother’s bridge partners
Hypnotized we shared
A room over Buddha’s Burgers
We were always just
Learning how to fly,
Practiced daily in a
Mirror Simon Says
Don’t move as the whole
World is standing still
The Lady of the Lake
Says love means nothing
Now native to nothingness
Just a new from nowhere
As the doctor examines
The scars on your wrist
Watchtowers fade under
An antic Antares
At the Beach I catch
Rain with an opened mouth.
