213: Songs that inspire. Tycho - A Walk




There was something about the sunset
even with all the snow,
that reminded me of warmth
And sunny vacations.
Bronzed bodies,
cocktails with cheap novelty toothpicks
And miles and miles of sand.

I felt that azure glow against my face,
and was also reminded of the desert 
in Tucson, Arizona.
The road trip there,
the Mission San Xavier del Bac, 
and how awful negotiations were
after crossing the border in Nogales 
obtaining that Mayan calendar;
the one that you just HAD to have.

This might only be a reaction 
to those warm colors and wishful thinking,
but while engaged in those thoughts
I somehow did feel a bit warmer.

    Fish fly
    glimmer curves
    street light into
    white
    graffiti before they
    expire within
    the hour.

    It's a good day to be
    speechless.

    The quiet fury is overwhelming.
