THE HIDDEN TRACK

The following passages are dedicated to Leopold, to the vernacular, to certain evil women (you know who you are), to certain wonderful people(they know who they are), to soft afternoons and quiet Sunday evenings, to Fall and seeing your breath for the first time since Spring, and to Isabelle Ya Feng ... a soul slipped by like two ships passing in the still, moonlit sea.
-- Abraham Ahmed, the Surfing Beatnik



Distinct, Perfectly Intact...


Odd, the way the night shines down upon you
When all you desire is sleep.
When people that you meet
Insist upon making themselves known.

How is it that the day shines like a diamond,
And hours last forever
Cheekbones pressed together
As the last ditch effort of god and the sun.

The smells of riches of woods in the eve
A hundred people talk but you
Failing to know what you said was true
Instinct hands the torch while emotions heave themselves into the gutter.
