Abandoned Shop Beside A Beauty Parlor

                 estranged

estranged, entangled wrens and

 tan gulls and 

language trapped in

bell towers, underground tunnels, and above my tongue banging 

against my mouth's dark dome. 

what is this false sky affixed to high beams?

what is this barrier between

 this bare naked soul and anyone listening?



homeless pigeons weakening, perhaps there never was a "why"

for time between the double paned

storm window, jagged entrance gained,

wings wildly wide

then hardened,

frozen in bare baked flight before so many

passers by, is anyone seeing?

i see

and i want

 want to tell them about ...



but i can't tell them

about ...

because i can't find the way out either.
