care not for words unsaid
but with attention
see the words have lead
i thought i understood what you meant
but the path was twisting past
and i sat and waited
the blossoms blow
this is a garden
don’t you know
the soft steps
and idle beds
how could these words be left unsaid
the sleeping blooms
the quiet birds
all have now gone to rest
and dreams are in my head
that i go to dream upon my bed

dark as the night
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007

dark as the night
while floating orbs danced along
the small horizon obscure
broken by the blocky outline
of a city that is at rest
long ago when the morning was fresh
so tall so tall and that was all
destination first arrival afterwards
how we are destined
travelers with tickets carried abroad
eminently stately attired
there in the night bright
scratching beneath the surface
moments in monuments
history on the sleeve and cuff
where shadows glide
so solid so solid
rotating around avenues
side streets afterthoughts
more real than real more here than here

if i went back
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007

if i went back
to a long shot dust road
red in the afternoon sun
the engine of the car purrs
doors open forgotten
the dress you wore
printed but faded
you left it once
in the sun to dry
a few weeks
took a toll
it’s not easy
to realize that
even now
baking in the sun
we stand under
forgotten stars
stand in awe suddenly
having remembered
what had slipped away
events crystallized
in memory
returning with a force
to shock our bones
