and so we dance (throw back)

we wonder what will happen today,
what tears will be cried tomorrow
and what pleasures we’ll soon know.

the table was set for one, among the ashes of my old pages
i can see what i will become. black ashes and black tea,
black coffee and red roses.

i wonder if she even cares or am i just there,
because what it is to me it it not to her.

too high, that is my preferred flight pattern,
i wonder, imagine eating pieces of broken sky,
and then watching our bodies turn from us to it.

we’ll walk around with clouds floating across our brow.
i wonder about the cards cast last night, the queen of hearts that
upside down and right side up. and the king of diamonds that
did not want her--does she feel?

do we question?
no so we dance until we all fall down.
