Recall

Thick as thieves,
we ran with troubadours
devouring the night.
Street lights speckled
on burning desires
that bedecked our
every move.
​
We chanted and grooved
to private drummers
piercing our souls
with expressions
of freedom.
We waxed the darkness
and waned the light
as it morphed with our form.

We were lovers,
sisters, brothers,
forlorned beatniks
carving out the shadows.

We danced in the midnight rain
and screamed echos of etched
pain down the sewers.
We allowed the trees to skewer
every rage within our bodies,
and begged for
the earth's forgiveness.

We pilfered thoughts
and pecked at notions
floating in the ocean's
waves of seediness.
We treaded gently,
and bellowed with force.
Thick as thieves,
we ran with troubadours
and saturated our veins
​with words.
