The Gemini Trail
kick up some dust
on a southerly trail
chasing the stars of a gemini
scorpions have sketches
inked on them
but you have to come closer
to see
I pass by an open mirror
and look outside
there is a black tree
with hooves and claws
waiting for the spring
I close my eyes
and continue
a plane passes overhead
and the windows rattle loose teeth
a beer fizzles in a green bottle
delaying my arrival
momentarily
now that I stand here before you
captivated by your arsenal of intrigue
I can only say
that the thing I have done
may seem unruly to some
but to me
it not anything to lose sleep over
and if you could just hand me
my passport and the check book
Ill be moving right along
you are struck
by her expression of gratitude
how it always seems
in hindsight
to have been a nice farewell party
the two of you had
yes I know
this was years ago
but I wish that it seemed
like it was just yesterday
