Something Simple from Dessert by Maury Smith

Something Simple (1.10.1989)

Fog is frozen crystal perfect
stuck on stone and tree
in patterns of miniature galaxy breath
frosting the dawn’s light for me
frosting the dawn’s light for me

Something simple moving slowly
indistinct upon the ice
the treasure is seeing it circling there
and limited vision’s the price
and limited vision’s the price

So breeze me and bluster oh Romeo day
oh galloping pattern of clouds
the world’s full of signs to the
right frame of mind
scattered like stones on the ground
scattered like stones on the ground

Where on earth do these things come from
feathers etched by whose fine hand
these meanings come seasoning bites of my life
and melt off like ice in my hand
disappearing like water through sand

So breeze me and bluster oh Romeo day
oh galloping pattern of clouds
the world’s full of signs to the
right frame of mind
scattered like stones on the ground
scattered like stones on the ground
