This Isn't My Bed

Boxed voices
Howling decades ago
Humming strings
And shuttering harmonicas.

      A ghost of the past
      To awaken the trail forward
      Through the slick granite cairns
      Into the dewy future.

Whispering pines
Redwood forests
Ten misty mountains
And haunted, frightened trees.

      Chilled black rocks of Mother
      Crags studding the seas
      For the world's sins to crash
      And keep me standing on my feet.

Lover's breast
Curling hair
Somber eyes
And wet lips.

      Don't tell me what love is
      A different snowflake for all
      Then is always now
      I can't let you be.
