********
Wisps of dreams
brush the base of my spine,
as I twirl through time and leave shadows
on shadows
and cool the sun.

----------------------
My foundation trembled
from the blast of hope
that detonated beneath my skin
giving me goose bumps
when Obama won.

-----------------------
'Neath my mind's eye
lies opaque memories
that I guard carefully
allowing no one to search me.
Simply
because
I always have to be in control.
