The News Year

Bad back

In the news year

Making the right turns

On the wrong lanes

In our timed lives

We make the best of a new time

The Felt Moon

Felt moon

On my eyes

As I lie awake and

Swoon

To its light opaque color

Pasting its crispness

Upon me

The moon and its mysteries

Lie beyond me

Call the Feathers

Call the feathers

In a straight fashion

Walking down the isle of

Contrition

Contribution

Holding up

The human evolution

Call the feathers

Call the boots

Ease the tensions

Erase the loops

Here come the birds

Calling Sides

Calling sides

Major dilemma

Taken in strides

Years come and go

Making room for us to grow

But what will come of

Yelling that coverts to anger

And anger

Nothing

Let our resolve

Be greater than nothing

Lake Said

Lake said

Take care

On the eve of the

New year

Stations bustle

With life and hope

New Years resolve on

Full display

Hoping to see a year anew

Starting over in a city

Seeming to fit

This year will be a hit

Rainy Lazy

Lazy rain

On a Monday

New Year’s Eve

Hours away

Bring the fresh start

Without the clouds

Doing their part

Come new year

In due time

Start again

Feeling fine

Ship Canal

When the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers

Meet

Headed to the Mississippi

There is a pace

Nestled on the shores

Of Lake Michigan

Black building scraping the sky

Leaning back

On the windy side

At the bed of the river

Lies mysteries

And long live series

Notes and pens

Float at the riverbed

Years of passing through a city’s heart

And in all of our heads

When the three rivers make one

And down stream it flows

Through Chicago

Chicago CST

Chicago CST

Central Standard

I keep on planning

To make my way

To the Windy City

Last the cornfield to the north

Passes

Before the lake approaches

A feeling

Of lost but

Not stolen

Chicago

On my mind

As I head that way

New Year’s Sky

New Years Sky

New York City

Bustling streets

Everyday dreams

On the streets

Lifted up to

Empire high

Ever upwards

And continually so

Feeling the New Years glow
