Briffaut

Day One Hundred and Fifty Seven

i woke up to a long crash

from the skies above

i saw a flash of light was it an angel or a dove

my pillow crashing forward to the floor

for it was a flash of lightning that had stumbled through my door

she told me she was lonely

and lay down in my bed

i said i don’t believe you and stop messing with my head

she promised she was truthful

she told me i was brave

to lay across from lightning in the middle of the day

i told her i had little else to do

and warned her if you shock me i’ll be out to ruin you

Day One Hundred and Fifty Six

i was riding on the highway

on old i24

when a chugging and a steaming

and my car it said no more

i walked around the area for a while

till i realized where i was

and i headed for the nile

looking for a path well it was complicated math

betting i was heading towards the east or to the west

and halfway through i came across and oasis

A one take on the porch. I like when I say “weather” the wind picks up. 

Day One Hundred and Fifty Four

http://www.mediafire.com/?d7qc24m3s98bw6o

the world wilted into dust

but in my mind i knew the clock had cracked

i wished for all the galaxies

to swallow me into the light

the ghost of need it softly takes away

the walls we seem to bring down

with a salted glassy grin

a gondola it slips away

Day One Hundred and Fifty Three

solemn in the darkness looking for a match to strike

for a little candle light to scratch my head with

you are like a silhouette of dreams i cannot see

through the masks that you brought back from your vacations

but little does it matter as you sleep they slowly fall

and dissolve into the night for which they bleed on

for me i’m off to conquer foreign waters to the west

i won’t say i’ll try my best

as i’m just going to release a landlocked mind

for i require something of the fire of the sun

to relinquish all the darkness of a dark room

but please continue sleeping ever softly through the vines

and know that time did not forget

of your dreaming silhouette 

of your morning cigarette

of the soundless way the darkness gently held you

and i’ll continue creeping over sounds i freely make

when the sounds are truly brave and in the day shine

something held me under in the waters of a dream

so i closed my eyes to open them in real life

but the thing that never transferred from the context of the trees

from the oxygen of leaves

gently tugging at my sleeve

nothings ever how it seems

nothing falls it only leans

nothing red and nothing green

nothing pillows for the king

nothing dead nothing living

my thoughts after dipping my head into the ocean

Day One Hundred and Fifty Two

i went somewhere to see something old that i once knew in a patch of woods

remind me of a solemn breeze that goes unnoticed, slipping past our eyes

you put the world in a ten pound hat box and we sat cross legged around it

watching it breath and glow we smiled into oblivion over the simple colors

we arrive soon enough night time is dangerous for wondering minds like mine

replacing my memories with newer ones whispered to me when i walk through the door

but we lost the place to the waves of the now and before with the clocks ticking more

i took the hat box to organize my thoughts and noticed how the colors had changed

when all our sudden lights scare away fishes at best

we are lost among desert dreams

when all our sea urchins crawl through the mud

we are starting to unravel strings

Day One Hundred and Fifty One

fell down

on the walk

downtown

with no one around

i went from the roughness of road to the blue summer sky

all of the notes that i heard were so graciously sung

by the wind in the air on the trees the notes heavenly hung

Day One Hundred and Fifty

i held a third of my life in the palm of my hand

and it beckoned me please sit down soon you will understand

forty five days passed and dead was the green grass of children

what about all of the saints

who are marching through all of the tunnels

we are human and easily scared

on a tired sunday morning

Day One Hundred and Forty Nine

im flying away now

to scatter myself in the sea

lost in the void too long

destroyed by all the noise

time time to feel glad now

to lift out of all memory

but lost lost in the dark sea

i am waiting in a dream

i was finally moved by the lives of the young and the old

it took time to see you in the house where the stories are told

and when all is alone i can still see the smiling eye

so im waiting the sun out and all who must slowly pass by

Day One Hundred and Forty Six

NEED SLEEP NOW

http://www.mediafire.com/?dnrsj6oux33hi0h

i noticed the wind picking up

right when i set down the letter

my eyes had been glued to the words since late november

and the breeze blew it past all the tables

the legs of the chairs tried to catch it

and i never moved at all i was frozen  

but it disappeared in the sky

will it disappear from my mind

perhaps they are trading winds that blow in my favor

i am scared and i am tired

forgotten for long and expired

but true of heart admiring the trees 

Day One Hundred and Forty Five

do you think this is a mortuary?

where the living come to practice?

where the consumed lie about the colors of the tombs?

or do you think this is an aviary

where you’re learning how to fly?

what happens when you come down

and all the lights have turned off?

in a paisley lit haze will you quietly

gather your things and leave?   

i hope when the plane that you are crashes down

it won’t destroy the town

may you quietly land in the ocean

become a legend for the fish
