SKY WORDS (EXCERPT)

Fog

Trees have no tops
   in the fog
Bridges have no bottoms
Steeples rise like silent rockets
   frozen in space
Street lights float
   like UFOs
No one is your friend
   in the fog
The sky is a liar
The ground is a sneak
All footsteps belong to strangers
   even your own
The fog is
   a river with no direction
   a dream with no doors
When it lifts without a whisper
   you forget that it was ever there
     except for a tiny tickle in your mind
            a trace of goosebumps
              on your skin
