The strumming reaches the ceiling and out
The open window,
Till far from its guitar, files in with the dusk,
Whose thoughts are gold-red and blue-gold
And gold-pink.
The UFO is a treasure map.
How an angel, in the city,
Sitting on a power line, marks the spot.
Till the cosmos tickles on the tongue
And expands between the ears.

i get the smoke from a cigarette vibe….in a bar, the smoke rising to a ceiling fan and getting split up and spreading. I don’t know. That’s just the feeling I got….like a contraction to an expansion….”the cosmos tickles on the tongue and expands between the ears”———–WHAT A FINISH!!!!! “cosmos expands between the ears” and all from a strumming……music does this too….a dog too…..”The UFO is a treasure map”……hell yes!! What a great thought!

Thanks Steve!! I’m all ready to follow that treasure map to the UFOs. I’m sure they have the cosmos expanding between the ears too.

Love it, especially the opening. I can picture someone strumming a guitar, and the music drifting into the night.
