Ate LSD today
We like the way it makes trees breath and sway
Just like they always have
Walking hand-in-hand onto stained glass Hazel Ave
We fell in love on drugs
Other epiphanies bleed and blur
But this one never did
Now we watch soft shadows of leaves on the buildings
Never soul sick
On this new trip
Ivy wither
River shimmer
On the coal pier
Only you dear
Keep all the flags half mast
Worse even than we feared and twice as fast
“You’d think this life is a dream,” dad said
And cued up “Bobby Jean”
Long ago
Hieroglyphics on the houses
I got shivers
Afterimages
On Europa
An ocean
It’ll strike you deaf dumb and blind
Every lifer’s life ends sometime
