lonely days and Arabian Nights

lonely days and Arabian Nights.
a thousand and one stories 
teaches me, carries me like
late night hash marks on prison walls 
that welcome new dawns

a thousand and one links of jewels
makes time pass for this trucker
rest stopping on an endless gray highway

stories that keep me high until i expire 
new vistas in the sky away from
the stench of road kill driving me

ride ribbons of river flowing
passed fragrances and freshness of new life
a river: a sea that cannot conspire in stillness
nor entangle or wallow me



"Move on, move on," the Han River speaks,
it reminds and unbinds me,
moves me out of hidden underground chambers 
for a thousand and one nights
tantalizes me with magical tomorrows
