a friend's poems

going out the book
i saw my eyes go blind
i climbed into a chess rook
to lose what i couldn't find
softness made of steel
symphonies of silent time
show us fantasies are real
and the cleanliness of grime


i peeped from sleep with my jellyeye
the well of travel had run dry
and all along the hill where once
the sun had gathered strength to pounce
a cream of fog reclined in gray
a curtain for the pensive day
