.. out of the shower it comes.. birds are now the silence, along my window the future slows to a drop.. bumper to bumper with the present.. branching into thin streaks.. rain lanes patiently waiting for another drop to push through.. racing each other to their torrid termination .. tightly one drop clings to the glass.. it clings to another time, another place. Snaking through the branches.. trailing down the tendrils.. finding it ...finding a warm sunny day..

rolling down old south.. striking a path through the desert.. leaving everything behind.. leaking thoughts through the tires of my trusty bmx.. Melting with joy under fire.. digging for quartz in the seabed.. combing tangled cacti.. snoozing with scorpions, snakes, and dusty dates...never forgetting how to forget everything .. soon i will see you again.. we will bake together..

one drop of you will sustain a lifetime.
