and to the west lie mountains..



I cannot finish anything.
Too much caffeine maybe
but this has been going on for days.

I’m flying to Seattle Tuesday evening 
to see the view from the balcony.
A visit before my new job starts 
Working from noon to nine in a cube.

Selling my soul to the soulless
Pretending so long, I finally do care

I want to see the mountain, 
cold and distant on the horizon 
with the moon caught in the sky beside 
It will not come to me
 so I go there,
flying across the northern plains 
with the sacred lands of the Dakota 
beneath the silver wings.

Always living before and after is tiresome
But I cannot seem to carpe diem
I dread to return before I go.
