Standing There

What to do with these eyes
Stricken since soon after birth
This beaming
Grin
Staccato-broken by battered hope

These ruining that
Silken, star-reaching 
Silhouette 
Who is thee
What to do they both wondered

Matter

What you know is there, there is
You sixth-sense the far rumble from many-a-mile 

With barometer’s grace, you notice the change 
In the air, in your knees, in the bees
An ambery atmosphere resonates now 

As it all becomes new, what you thought you knew 
Turns a corner and trouble you find

Want turns to need and then back again 
The dance in the walk of your days spins, then stumbles
Love lives deep and cannot tell why

The quiet speech inks the world and your skin
This means everything -beyond that, nothing
