Dreams for Sale

Thursday November 29, 2007

Social Constructions

You watched him rise
like smoke
and fall
like a balloon
collapsing

driving out the air
one crafted
moment
after another.

You raised him to heights
you knew he could never sustain
just to soothe
your impossible,
impenetrable
soul.

And now you are alone
in a quiet place
wondering
what you needed to believe
and why you needed to believe it:

As you ask him
to scale
mountains
and to roll
belly-down
the side

your eyes
wickedly pacified

watching
his body
descend

like a bubble
through
space

one crafted
moment
after another.
