Sitting under the lamplight at midnight, <br /> I break the mortared silence with the strike of a match. <br /> <br /> I have a pocket full of camels and a sky filled with <br /> large elephant like raindrops which fall slowly through <br /> an asylum of orange lamplight resting over me. <br /> <br /> i watch them descend downward to walk about me <br /> crooked and cumbersome, <br /> like some Dali portrait upon the pavement. <br /> <br /> they breath and pause for a moment to <br /> stoop in their long legged prose. <br /> gathering to reflect in a puddle on the corner, <br /> by someones words i had heard earlier that morning. <br /> <br /> In the leaves i will put them i think. <br />Maybe the passing wind will do me this favor <br />and carry them off, leaving no sense of direction or guilt. <br /> <br /> but like a good subject i sit very still for my portrait. <br /> to sail with lock and key through the shadowy <br />chambers of solitude, waiting their holding <br /> night by the wrist I sit curbside.<br /><br />nathan martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/curbside-dali/
