I saw you in the mirror

you were wearing your hair differently

carrying the air differently

You say you want your hair long parted in the middle

Long in solidarity - worn for all his women

Long Beach

Aimless

your fingers wiping oil on the paper w precision

w decision like an artist never seen yet with a vision

W a reason

Stared w venom at the ceiling

not the grass

but straight ahead

Just at the skyline

w precision

laser vision

time was stopping

moving through u.

U dictated

by what moved u

only moving never thinking

Match the sun that’s slowly sinking

at the height of afternoon

In the heat of summer evening

Like a phoenix like a chemtrail like a wavelength No

one’s claiming

Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia peaches

Doing nothing but your painting

For forever

Forget teachers

Forgive him for ever leaving

love is rising

No resisting

cheeks are flushing

Now you’re living

Say goodbye now

no resisting

Live your life like

no one’s listening

Be the art that life is breathing

Be the soul the world is living.

Do what you want

For you only

Not for giving

Just for taking

No one’s listening

at the end of Lime and 10th street down the road that’s green

and winding

Past the bushes cypress thriving past the chain

link fence

and driving

farther down the road less traveled

there u are athleisure wear unraveled

Now I see you clear

Standing stoic blue and denim

eyes not blue but clear like

heaven

you don’t want to be forgotten

You just want to disappear
