Destiny

It came from direction of moss eroded and abeyant railroad tracks.
Carried their bodies like wind pierced chiffon on the under belly of porpoise wings in mid air stream.
He spoke of love in the hidden places and she reminded him of the beauty laying wait ‘neath ashes and ammonia washed truths.
His features were proverbial...and his breath, commonplace.
Ginger coated pretzels and heart shaped balloons
Crept through nightmares at daybreak...
Humming to the off beat drum of broken records
and moonlight and star dust kissing
And you...
You were in the midst of this.
Covered in eggplant colored velvet and shades of blue
Dipped in honey crescent shards of melon and emerald light/
Re-birth came in the form of destruction and lies, washed in sandy salt crystals and spring water.
Strawberry sugar baby
Flying at full speed on a golden litmus paper air plane from hell’s grip
Perusing down the street with a smile of redemption on his face,
A cat under his collar and a cigarette butt dangling from his lower lip...
He passed her on a crowded warren without words
Only scrunched brows and passing glances at a deliberate stranger.
