Tildy Found The Blue Light {poem}

Tildy Found The Blue Light


Tonight another bird sky, orange blue
wooden twitch plaque
concrete steps
blue lake and a peach tree
what difference does it make if
the
instructions have been made to run backwards


what steps pressed
have been laid
by those
who no longer walk

shadows on sale 1/2 off
and all the monsters running through the aisles
clapping
stomping until all the shadows are sold

they hang them from buildings
they hide them near the
edge of town
like puddles the monsters clomp
through their shadows
like the most unimportant kings before
tiny battles near the
edge of the roaming gardens

that spin prince is dancing sideways
in the subway terminal
his wings scraping the ceiling dusted in black
and some might think
he is the angel of darkness
how he laughs while he dances

mondo-fly
with pink blood on her chin
water swords have been taken from the delicate membrane of lyon
he won't tell; just be back before the
vain-gels wake

but for now
in this very moment
the spin prince
dances and laughs
on the white tiles and iron tracks
near the German subway
