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
