THE FUTUREST

THE FUTUREST It is by skill And strength of will Cities are built, But soon enough they crumble Into rocks and dust Slumbering victims Of moths and rust. Future worlds Depend on the pen. uTAH jAY 2013 all photos by uTAH jAY Sign in to see full entry.

A NIGHT OUT WITH MARCIE

A NIGHT OUT WITH MARCIE It was, Like a fairy tale moment, and The air filled crisp with magic. She was Beauty And passion the steed She rode. I watched it all from the shadows, Her plot cast, like a spell, Her low tentative chants Beckoning From the sheen Of supply painted eyes As she flew With... Sign in to see full entry.

UNDER SMILE OF MOON

UNDER SMILE OF MOON I saw a tender moon rising Rather timidly Over the canyon Last night And off in the distance I heard The pitiful sound Of a lonely wolf Serenading his mate, Transfixed in the light With promises of the heart, That carefree kind of life We all want to know And have, And oh how I...

NIGHT AND DAY

NIGHT AND DAY photo by uTAH jAY When night Befriended earth And split the light It was done By sleight of hand By stars and moon Pinpricking through The blanket pulled Over the eyes Of angels Much to wise To be surprised By a jealous heart photo by uTAH jAY uTAH jAY 2013 Sign in to see full entry.

SUICIDE OF A CATERPILLER A bulimic caterpillar as skinny as a bed post pulls puddles over her shoes walking over stump shadows as if they were nothing in a plot of earth split and cleared by angry men looking for a nest of hungry ants to complete her muddy feet metamorphosis. uTAH jAY 2013 Sign in to see full entry.

THE PASSING

THE PASSING Months and years Pass by the wayside, In spring time We were immortal And unafraid In summer We were tan And brave In fall We were enamored By the color of it all, And now That winter comes I’m afraid I’m just too damn old To be cold. uTAH jAY 2013 all photos by uTAH jAY Sign in to see full entry.

THE OLD CHEVY

THE OLD CHEVY The old truck Sits out back Like a dejected soul Tired and cold With two hundred thousand memories Racked up In her rusted cocoon, A growth of tumble weeds Sprouting up Between her feet And a nest Of mad yellow bees Living under her seat While I sit here In the rain Contemplating Just...

THE WOLFS SECRET

THE WOLFS SECRET No matter how I try I cannot force sleep into my eyes Nor can I wish dreams away with coffee And through long summer night It eludes me, Was yesterday a dream Spent in labors forgotten Whereas tomorrow we will wake To climb yet other mountains? photo by uTAH jAY Up early on granite...
