Among the Sleepwalkers

and a skyful of pigeons

Pigeons dressed up as ravens for Halloween - Port Townsend, WA

Sleepwalkers

Those who fear the dead   
have certainly not met   
the living.  
 
Nothing scares   
the bejesus out of me  
more than bumping into  
one of those 
sugared-up bags  
all spill, no fulfill  

costumed out   
for a customary life   
as they walk by  
dim-lamped  
ignoring the glory   
of another dissolving hour 
rushing to roulette themselves   
on the carousel of want

     never enough,  

		then gone 
			and nevermore.
