Headline Poem 8/19/14 -- tie dye sky

tie dye sky 

swirls of cotton and candy, 

pink and blue,

 ancient lullabies combine 

with a few 

hours-before-midnight 

tie dye sky

birds of protection 

    and of prey

fly by 

with effortless effort,

stretched and smooth

 reminding me 

of you 

I will wait 

by the lopsided phone booth

covered in graffiti and 

you'll see how far I've come, 

our souls mirrored 

in the 

glass 

of bubbles and

youth

a feather floats by on 7th street,

      while the phone rings

intentions become clear,

and a new journey 

begins

hello?
