A cold Colorado moon has dropped like a huge silver coin into the hard pocket of a weather-starched canyon
Hidden treasure
As dawn breaks the black ice of the firmament
A blue crack is splitting
Pulling asunder
Ever since the first day of Creation
Separating the darkness from the light
And there was evening and there was morning, right?
Genesis 1.5
Crackling like a cube in a glass
(Or maybe it's the soap bubbles in my ears)
Opening an Eden door
Hinting at Forevermore
Reminding me that the road to life is narrow
And few there be who find it
So said the Savior
But-here we go again -broad is the gate to another day
As an orange sun is rising
And the puffy feminine cheeks of a cloudy sky are blushing pink
I must confess that I'm a voyeur
Who loves to watch
Two great heavenly bodies whenever they change
I'm so turned on
The snow is melting
The slopes are slushing with gray downhill dreams
Hang your skis brother
You broke the bones of your soul for nothing
She doesn't really love you
It was all a trick
A bubblegum ChapStick kiss
And an unforgettable blow
At Cock Rock
And the rivers are rising and rushing with rafters
A new line of lovers
Winter's white rapids eager to dash them to pieces against a slimy boulder or break a few teeth with an out-of-control paddle
One wrong move mama
And the mountains are browning like my bruised apple heart
Before they sprout once more into green
Seasons change
Sometimes they are mean
I see it
I feel it
I know it
In technicolor
I've draped Joseph's multicolored coat around the stooped shoulders of my brain
Montane
With a god-like perception
Seven years of plenty followed by seven lean years
Skinny cows eating the fat cows
Such is love
Mushrooms are fertilized in steamy manure
Psilocybin
Even a microdose tastes like shit
A small sacrifice
To force some laugher in the face of sorrow
To forget about a lesser tomorrow
And to fly like an eagle over Vail Valley
