On my back with mouth agape

Breathing made harder by her movements.

I do my best and swallow straight

Wanting nothing but to please my dentist.

Sitting in quiet reflection

Every moment closer to equilibrium

I take another sip of tea.

I see the path to the door

A history of lines and dents

Beyond it a calling:

A soft and easy, embracing light.

Yet I stay inside,

Not hiding, instead striving,

As here, I feel, offers more.

Carving the curves

Two tires tracing similar lines

Bushido of No Minds.

One moment

Black birds against tangerine vapors

Seconds later

A silver speck streaks across the blue.
