passing through

by Philmore Fekilstaum - Sagittarius

unlike the edge, temptation berieved the souls of 
peasents and fornicators.
cousins in a death match,
waiting on the power-ups and silly string
to tie the sarcophagi into twinkling 
pathways.
the pipe offers no isolation to the man who
lived alone.
visions of the mountain walk with me, as do the voices of
those who had inhabited it's vally.
inspiration came only in the spring time 
to those beautiful peaks, and never
until the end of breath shall i forget the touch of the thin air
on the wetness of my lips in the morning.
so many buttons any more...
so many buttons and these shaking hands find trouble
in their location.
gravity has defeated me in so many ways that i have ceased
to count. 
only the ashes are left now, 
so my journey must
carry itself into another place.
peace be with you... here in this palace of 
glass with it's gardens of stone.
