BLEEDING SKY (10-25-93, Galveston Island, Texas)
sunsets fiery trauma
comes
like open heart
surgery
to lay wide open
this surrendered
yielding sky
spread out
far and wide
i take a good
long look back
at my once
so open fluid life
kiss it sadly
all goodbye
truth is running dry
time is quickly
running out
lasting peace
has always
seemed and been
such an elusive
battle
please stop all this
inner hurting
please release
and free me
up to this
bleeding sky
just beyond us
up above
which seems so
calm and peaceful
god knows ive tried
and tried
until now at last
it seems
i may have finally
realized
its my own blood
fills these skies
which neither enhances
nor diminishes
its flaming beauty
for i also realize
that i may be
the only one
who perceives it
that way
but is this
all and what
my lifes now
come down to be
or is it only
just another
of those sudden
passing
cloud delusions
ive been having
more of here lately
which i suspect
may somehow buffer
whatever unseen
subconscious resistance
i may yet still
have inside
to the ever nearing
reality
of my nonetheless
inevitable
own surrendered
yieldings
final letting go
