This is the property of Xu Guan

I came upon a headless man today
Making his way
Upstairs
Step by step his shoulders trudged on
Curious I peeked into the collar of his thousand year old jacket
where his neck should be
Amazed to see
a galaxy
Staring back at me
Rainbows in swirling gases
requiems singing out out from dying planets
stars chasing their tails in infinitium
Dizzy from the vertigo in my good eye
I kept dreaming as I limped past him
Club footed and fancy free
Feeling fast and easy
Like you and me

Graduation

I meet myself standing in a field Feet torn from missing concrete Hair stuffed with new leaves I am green and I am wild And I am breathing deep Teeth showing I run in circles around myself   Howling in joy Arms calling the Wind  Daring the Sky Nothing is as fierce as I  And I myself am crying laughing and hugging only me  She won't be touched But I'm close so close
