the blue jays waited on the camp bench this afternoon for you to feed them, you ignoring me cost them too, they wept all day through. we came to Yosemite for you to find resolution was it in an alleyway or the Blue Onyx Bar? did the sun, while feasting on your skin devour the last of us as well? this moveable target blazing the whiskey sky, seduced my loneliness following me to Jack London Square taunting me of you As well… my hair is singed from lying in your sun i am tired of lying next to you engineering the corpses tan, i am far better a pale man this world of your unknown strangers smile approving glance a night remembered twice to come, sending you to the other side of the bed; whatever keeps you there time finding ways to expand diluting my reflection make me more leaving with less fortifying with a smile this journey back is longer than the forward run
