For Kali

Real Life Superheroes.

Rock on guys.  Rock on.

yet more silly poetry for pups (OC)

their eyes follow me
across the market square
the well only works once a day
when i come to call it

their eyes follow me
across the hard pan of the desert floor
the oases only bloom
in the days after i pass

their eyes follow me
across the dais to sit at his side
his power only blossoms
when they know i am here to save them.

~~~

i remember standing under a street lamp
my hand fumbling in my pocket for my mobile
i remember the dark lump of flesh in your fist
and the gaping hole in my chest
where it once beat.

the universe holds its breath
waiting for me to remember.
