Status Updates From The Selected Poetry of Vice...

Why do I follow the wind through my dreams
As it stirs my murmuring hair on the roof of this night

Have you seen this bird from faraway islands
Launched on the tide at the foot of my bed?
Have you seen the hypnotic ring that goes from eye to eye
From love to love from hate to hate
From man to woman from planet to planette?
Have you seen in the lonely sky
The dove menaced by the years
With eyes full of memories
A breast full of silence
Sadder than the sea after a shipwreck?

I'm alone
The distances between our bodies
Are as great as those between our souls
Alone
Alone
Alone
I'm alone I'm stuck at the tail end of this dead year
The universe's waves break at my feet
The planets swirl around my head
And mess my hair up with their passing winds
Without an answer that could fill their chasms

Let's go to sleep under the tree
Just like the rain

All the rivers with their floating hair
Rivers poorly braided
Which the burning summers have kissed

The wounded sunsets still bleed
