Know that you own the tongue that has made a world flat

With each word, placed its heart at once under your boots 

Chicken-walk on the doormat, “Do some-thing with your mess.”

Close the door, then deny you’d been outside that Day

Mama would say no of you
Too tall and all
The height that is

She would wish a finer dish
In thought and walk
And more clean-talk

Mama’s heart would break in two
To see my lumber
Beside you

Forgive this unbeliever
Universe darling
I see them standing proofless 
Lying to their eyes
Claiming some convergence 
Between them and you and me
Will they who profess you
Refund me
For the broken pieces 
I hold and held and clung to
When at first I followed

Primitive heart
Can I abandon you now
Is the world safe
Again
Outside

Over-protective imagination
Can I embrace your flight
Will I see to catch
Myself
Falling

Or will my all forever be 
As snow
Pure and driven
Insulated and blinded
By itself

Reluctant to berth
Determined to tread
With bronzed, coppered skin
And hanging within
The cast, iron heart
Forged just for your Hand
That Hope
From East to West 
Proved up
Makes dry land
