Man, I have been totally slacking on this thing over this month. I apologize, but my life has taken a decidedly crazy turn for the better over the last few weeks. Although I'm still jobless *mumble, mumble*. Every once in a blue moon, the universe gives you a break and lets life seem like a dream for a while...

SWEETEST SIREN

They love you for to leave their mark,
these wonderous wanderers
and in return
you give them your scent
to keep them warm
on the long road home
and maybe some day
they'll follow those heady
smell spells
around a bend in the trail
back to where they know
the song is safe and smooth
and widens toward the horizon
where their love always prevails
and all those firecracker towns
suddenly pale...
and the long road home
becomes the one in the rear-view mirror.
