left behind
to vanish with the seatide
in midsummer's instant
of metamorphosis
 
a butterfly loses its wings
to become a caterpillar
as the film rolls
in reverse
 
skin forced to stretch
limitless and limited
by new world order:
paper friends 
 
mind does its own walking
to rehearse
climbing old walls
but labyrinths prevail
 
trapped beneath tombstones
spirits become deaf
and accepting

i've wandered the village
tasted the food
watched people live
through their eyes
and no matter how old
traditions become
how many clichés are overused
some things must
come to an end
yet, i haven't begun
to find new footprints
in the village
from you.

i, too, watch and wait
to be possessed again
for i'm not in command
and though i keep clichés
inside the chest
the loving never ends
as footprints fade
or steps become so light
that it's a ghost that walks
lost in the village.

with teasing tip toes
erased at every step
i walk invisible 
along the shore
wearing spanish moss
over my shoulders
to keep the warmth
of yesterday intact
in order to survive
just one more day
while all along i've known
doom was the sentence
before i came to be
and long after i'm gone
from memory of friends
and those whose mind
embraced me
there will still be stars
with individual names
adorning skies
wherever tombstones lay
or ashes fly
in anonymity.

if purpose is a goal
to be accomplished,
smaller than a birdseed,
 
forgetting
is the crown i wish to wear
on this feverish wednesday.
 
tomorrow i'll be strong
to pluck the green
and plant cement--
 
perhaps a sculpture
or just plain and bare
to reflect nakedness.

and they all afloat
lofty in their lofty thought.
then along came a drunken
silly billygoat
and made the loft his court.

which came before the other
goal or purpose?
on a trip down memory page
purpose wasn't realized
until a goal was foreseen
even though a backwards purpose then
was to stay
naked
now.

a tad  concentrated and dense for me
i consider a pendulum and scales equaling out

naked i was born just yesterday
with no goal or purpose
other than the unforeseen
which walked before me
and read the longest page
in memory of a flag
covered with a neighbor's cloth
and cotton towels
crying for a breast to stay.
