20. "Night Trips"
In response to In response to 3


  

          

Night Trips

Crushing silver glass
Shards skip from underneath frozen toes
Made of steel

Asphalt speckled with
Rusted blood
Sewn into its structure
Lay foundation for midnights

Be Bopping buzz
Bombards walls of stone
As metallic shadows move
Within sound
Like a gasp during orgasm

Illuminating heaven
Creates Sun in neon plasma

As hues of man
Collide like avalanche conversations
With disgruntled boulders

“The Weight of the World on My Shoulders!”

Penetrates frustrated air
Too thick headed
To thin itself
As old age draped in mud and
Thunderbird
Holds strong nappy silver mane roots
Between weather-beaten
Palms
Crying his sweat-drenched sermon
To his congregation of rats
As the choir bumps Ca’mron
And children sing Oh Boy

Niggers walk in wolf-packed clothing
Holding
Bagging and processing their deaths
All with gold-rooted smiles

While little chocolate covered angels
Double-Dutch tomorrow
Through slaps to asphalt behinds

It’s all intertwined
In the metropolis of my inner
My soul explains tapestries
Of ancient tablets
Spoken through non-verbal communication

The violets-indigos-negroes-and whites
Are my guide through cerebral translations
Of Hennessey dreams
As I sleep
After another late night
And the scent of street stench
Permeate blankets
And coat the fantasy
Of nocturnal bedlam

For I dream in motion
And travel in sound
Unraveling
Truths foretold
In shaman stories

My father said to follow my own path
To see it clearly
As if it were right in front of me
I wonder,
As I praise his life
And mourn his passing

Why do I only travel at night?
