Another Life Another Day It Was So Special by Vicente Reyes

Another Life Another Day It Was So Special
I 'm Going Shopping In the City

Today the morning shadow waves wash over the neon tiles of
earth
I am mindsetting to the spheres and inner space vibrations of
desire
My leather boots touch but do not adhere

I sing to the pigeons in the park from my shower in midnight
shelling
I have cast off tons of dirt and emerge shiny headed in the forest
Warm the wind and gentle is the light

I search for truth on benches and in books finding only my
conscience
Moonlighting with a lamp and speaking with pebbles under
tongue
I am tinkering with the fabric of circumstance by witch words

Electrolytes paying for a piece of bread I wipe my bodytalk
gesture
Alone or with your breath I am filled with a joy like upon
awakening
Or on a ship discovering hurricane fever came over me

Bread for the gulls and folk strums for the club faces in beer
sandwich frame
I gather grains of gold in shells by the water and the sand shifts
wetly
Like time that only comes back in rhythm I see the tides and you return

Come to me once again when in another place and time
You find the message in the capsule from another day
Time was we could sip tea and have a good life see you soon
