illusion
belly fire I woke up this morning
still on the twilight of sleep
and for the first time in so many months
the light of early morning came through my window
for a minute I thought it might be raining outside
the way the sky used to look in the spring before my mother drove me to school
that old familiar familiar
came back to me so easily
like the smell of fresh worms
and soggy grass
yet the irony is I never daydream about the snow
the bitter no-smell of the morning
and the dormancy that is always so unsettling
just below the surface the world is still sleeping
and the rain won't be here for months yet
it was just the illusion of the early sunrise
minutes earlier each day

frAnk nice work.

i know the feeling of nature's illusions. this very morning as i look out at the azure sky and even though a fresh snow from yesterday and 4omph winds created drifts up to four feet in some areas, i am still tricked into thinking its warm.

think again.

mercury never lies. it's six degrees.

Soma Time is an illusion
That helps things make sense
So we’re always living
In the present tense
It seems unforgiving
When a good thing ends
But you and I
Will always be back then
