off the wall

portable overcast

spilling off the wall,

rocks dangling then falling

climb aboard for a cosmic ride

inspired players upon a snowdrift highway

all join forces for gas or air,

this, a trip of joy,

this, a late supper show,

warm sleeping bags shared these passionate nights

close up candle deep in thought

no other light distracts,

will we ever breathe this clearly again?

will we ever again see this way?
