granny apples

by Philmore Fekilstaum - Sagittarius

the feral tones of ventilation 
harbored the vessels of legendary hope.
yet each excursion 
inward became as futile as God in the eyes
of the mortally rich.
i wish with all of me that i could undo the ties
that have bound us to this rotation.
it would be nice to see some beauty that wasn't
spun out of control.
if i was siddhartha i could stick my tongue into a 
river. 
if i was allen ginsberg i could taste new york in 
the air of my lifetime.
if i was any of you, i could laugh through your eyes
instead of my own. 
when a tree sways, think of us.
like a tidal breeze that smells of sunlight and 
soft grass.
elation in the simplicity of these dying thoughts.
