I sleep a distance;
wings gliding through sky cotton,
the common misconception
was that I was dreaming.
In doing so, they skipped
over the blackened street
where my crumpled jeans lay,
the brown peeping out
slightly-closed eye lids.
What of that smear
across her bottom lip?
Why it's just gloss; hand
musta slipped.
Oh, a hand did slip
up the silk shirt,
across bare throat,
down the exposed chest,
below a slim stomach,
into that satin panty line
carving out Mother's work of art.
What a welcomed drifting it was.

"A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others."
