Dancing With Skeletons

 

The Yosemite still stands 

Solid in mother’s hands 

When the air above her is sick


And the city still gleams 

In the echo of screams

Of a concert full of sad people


Instead of obsessing over the answers 

I need to bathe in the question 

A psychic told me I need to learn to trust


I’m heading for Maine

From a city I have no name

I think I’m looking for a certain silence


I’m more than a poet

Maybe a pimp for letters?

I’ve always been drawn to sex


I don’t know where I’m going

I think that’s the point 

The sky looks like a friend
