    Jason Micheal Dunn

    Hiding in plain sight, behind a smile, weaving through fallen beams of sunshine surfing sidewalk, etching the ineffable along the edge of scintillating sea."Yeah, I love the beach, listening to music, my second favorite color is teal."I'm alive. I'm dying.

      The Anachronist

      Out there in the street

      Light expires by subtle degrees

      Its golden heat depletes

      Against that flapping invisible sheet

      In spite of metal carts agleam

      Their ingenious engine’s bark-like song

      The energies held hands and sung

      And nothing was wrong

      Sure Fire

      The boring weave of street concretes the sad extreme

      Inside me dully beats a soulful lost entreaty

      Behind the big grey bank of cloud a growl of light surrounds

      Looking up, so to speak, my heart shook hard to music like a fist

      The fist of peace

      The Lover

      Everything slowed during the crash

      Metal feathers spread over laborious seconds their heartless majesty

      Blotting out the golden font of the sun

      Only a few timeless rays like blinding spokes about the eagles head shone bright

      And in the ancient shower of glass you walked through as if through gentle beads

      Athena’s sunlight
