Almost Feel

Spine supine
these lines opined
are seeking truth
and the sublime,
where Fear and Hate
met at the corner
with Fate for a date
with Destiny.

Stars and skies
fall like tail lights
of cars and call
out in rasped voices
in the night
until arched backs
of cats and dancing dogs
congregate for revelry.

Standing here in
the limpid pool of
street light, I feel the
Earth move under me
and if I raise my shoes
up onto my heels I could
almost feel
it

stop.
