The empty apartment discovered
Beneath the life of college students on California,
Furnished with empty tables, refrigerators, and mattresses.
A spent bottle of wine,
Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises,
A broken bottle for an ashtray -
The only signs of life and dreams.
We speak of mountains,
1940's nights in the jazz clubs of NYC,
Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty sit on this couch,
God and two souls discussing the
Passions formed on these deep nights.
Our young souls filling these empty bottles,
The light of our hearts burning
Thru cigarettes as smoke curls from our mouths -
Talk of captivating women worth fighting for,
Of lips and rivers and eyes and sunsets.
Dylan, Kerouac, Adams and Eves, and Christ -
Rebels, writers, firsts and revolutionaries -
Hearts digging life with wine, words, and women,
In an empty apartment with a brother
Writing the deepest lyrics of life.
