Dear Bob Dylan,

October 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

There are mornings I wake to silence after many dreams of you. And what is my crime? When I put my face to the world it is always smiling. Though my heart is bottomless and moonless, I take nothing. I walk the raked earth, pass the tall mountains, eat and survive on my eclectic human passions.

I feel born. I feel I’ve never been born.

One book has it that you came from the snow. Another claims it doesn’t matter. I stoop like an immigrant under your sound. I go walking beneath a bread of stars and think of you, on the edge of madness, I walk with a thousand questions in my heart.

Time can only transcribe in passages. It is almost unbearable. I have been fluttering like a little moth around the light of Tell Tale Signs. I sometimes think of the hours, the years….

elsewhere life continues, the hammer strikes. I return to you. With a firm grip.

It’s a miracle.
