response to mag big

response to mag big

speak to me
bridge east and west.
while you stop to think
and the waters, they face you.
i've told you once before,
sure you were not listening;
we just don't have time.
forget.
forget my heart in bangkok.
too much to see not to forget something.
scatter yourself:
salt the earth with memories
one can only create on a road;
a road immeasurable.
i, for one, once touched big
standing upon the butte.
i dreamed big.
i dreamed you before the flesh.
and found an earth inside my stomach.
i cut in.
the insides that poured out
through the hole in my side.

i held tight, when i was around you.

still it bled through the linen.
turn white to red
red to black
harden and link;
a stentorian voice; rock-like, butte-like figure.
alone in the coming months,
even though i'll find you in expressions.
if you died in a way,
i revived you
when it snowed unexpectedly.
