WALKING
to the moon of me
i sleepwalk the number
i count the lines
i walk the number
i do not remember when
gray became sunlight
to the sun of me
i sleepwalk the number
i count the sides
i walk the number
i do not remember when
purple became moonlight
walking
on gray and purple
strings of sun and moon
i am shattering
the number
walking
i am the shattering
Tommy Scott Young
from Black Blues and Shiny Songs
