Trying On Life

You never know when gifts arrive,

Trying On Life 

By Tyler Lucas Mobley

Holster ready, all you did was

ask. If put another way, I

might’ve just let it pass. Your 

key question unlocks response.  

Not taken lightly words rush to 

life relating to everything at once. 

Did grandmother tell you what was

said? Eyes blossom full of sky. 

Did we know then what we know

now? Birds sing the story of our

lives, rendezvous on approach

play your part to alert me to mine. 

Our moment bubble burst into 

existence, crochet time yarns and

salutes, saddled grins remind us this

whole world is a changing place. 

Splicing Dawn

An oldie that stuck around, arrived in one piece.

Splicing Dawn

By Tyler Lucas Mobley

Your tears vibrate my nipples, 

on the off chance you’re 

watching National Treasure

A bespoke setting far 

afield interplays stones

assemble under your eye.

Desert crawl to intrepid

spring may haunted wardrobe 

be with you and any word 

of meaning drawn as

the narrow bridge sways.
