for j

jane=jade
rough hewn
absolute perfection
completely removed from anything before or after
wood spirit/water spirit
bamboo alongside
deep slow moving river
roots in the earth
roots in the water

movement thru the garden
of iron, glass, steel and loss
escape from the noise
to open arms
left waiting/left wondering
the sky is purple/orange burnt flesh
gray/black ash
i cannot breath

jade=jane
never noticed your brown eyes
for some reason
to preoccupied with
questions, smiles and thoughts
deep roots
hearing the wind/the silence
slow moving river
along the bank

willing into being
beyond boundaries of knowledge strength truth
through to you
silent music trapped in stone

links of chain
drawn against the tide of time
moments of lost clarity
broken thru my fractal morning
belief overshadowed by complete surrender

extending ending
thought last of hope
purity of rosepetals rainwater and morning
i have forgotten there
dropped in the bottom of a well

being willing/all
no boundaries beyond
traces of you

out of focus
blurring the differences
between foreground and the past
something's are easier to see
with space time and forget
(that's a lie)

lately my eyes get tired easier
never catching the intricacies that make up your life
slowly going blind
it's growing dark outside
on the way (late) to la jolla
from an afternoon spent in your arms

did i tell you i stopped by thursday?
ring the bell waiting for nothing
so many things left unsaid
the little out of focus edge's of your photos
my notebook nobody sees

defining the thin line
between "i miss you" and "i love you"
the growing knot when i hear your voice
and the implications of what i did and did not say
23 steps to your door
and my machines for making silence
won't let me be
