blinking memories

which style to do? straight and narrow, along a path, or differing sizes, more prominent?

which medication should be administered, colored in, propped up on the bedside table. open-mouthed suck on a drizzle of drumbeats: takkata takkata takkata ta. headphones nestled in my insecurity, this is the only way to travel! i read the brochure beforehand, but it never mentioned just how difficult it would be to get your nose out of the improv business. tarmac to the brain, all traffic re-routed to the next customer. let’s hope he doesn’t have the dealer’s number memorized.

some orifices are designated as EXIT ONLY. in the event of a sudden drop in confusion, LEDs will light the way to bust down that door. i’ve just called to confirm another red dress, left a message, drank the oily substitue otherwise known as milk. the song in my ears is just too damn long, i’ve had enough of that farting coronet, that whimper-whine sax. give it up, pass me another.

When the day is done, we lie down to sleep.
But our shadows get up and slip away
through a door in our imagination…

*

the wild, wild dream is
the shadow of our daytime

the soft, soft echo is
the shadow of a sound

the dark, dark night is
the shadow of the Earth

the black, black letters are
the shadows of a word

the sweet, sweet taste is
the shadow of sugar

the hush-hush whisper is
the shadow of a secret

the strange, strange shape is
the shadow of a something

the quick, quick peek is
the shadow of a look

*

wild shadow, wild shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I go
wherever winds will blow,
stretch and shudder, whip and creep,
tracing patterns on the ground.”
wild shadow, wild shadow,
i can race you, take me too

soft shadow, soft shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I am
like velvet on the ground,
covering and smothering
to make the sounds grow silent.”
soft shadow, soft shadow,
i’ll be quiet, take me too

dark shadow, dark shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I crouch
in corners, under beds,
stay quite still and hold my breath,
turn into a hiding place.”
dark shadow, dark shadow,
i’ll crawl with you, take me too

black shadow, black shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I read
between the lines in books.
Many stories gather there
if you only think to look.”
black shadow, black shadow,
i’ll turn pages, take me too

sweet shadow, sweet shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I fly
to find the honeybees.
To drink and dine on flowers,
candy-coated memories.”
sweet shadow, sweet shadow,
i can make wings, take me too

hush shadow, hush shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I look
underneath the pillows
where unspoken wishes wait,
until they can be fulfilled.”
hush shadow, hush shadow,
i’ll be careful, take me too

strange shadow, strange shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I make
a picture with my friends.
Other shadows take my hands
and we dance upon the wall.”
strange shadow, strange shadow,
i’ll step lightly, take me too

quick shadow, quick shadow,
where do you go?
“At night I leap
and flicker in moonlight.
Here and there, disappearing
then appearing steps away.”
quick shadow, quick shadow,
i can jump high, take me too

what’s your favorite lovesong?
like for pop not arias
not let there be Seraphim but ooh baby I got you

my sister and i can tell you in sharp sequence and precise detail exactly what could not have happened simultaneously. one day i’m going to break into her universe and set things straight.
