light where the road bends
startling until the mind sees
the train’s on the track
constant cognitive struggle
between what’s sensed and what’s real
light where the road bends
startling until the mind sees
the train’s on the track
constant cognitive struggle
between what’s sensed and what’s real

framed by two branches
the sun hides behind a leaf
open and shut case
we all see what we believe
even if it’s not the truth
blurs of black and brown
hawk flap for flap with raven
more than game of tag
the haunting presence
in my dreams last night became
sound reality
