Of this I’m certain
The birds are benevolent
They wish to thrill me
Of this I’m certain
The birds are benevolent
They wish to thrill me
Words in blue and black
Shouting from the wall
Under the guise of favor
Each day… someday…
With one decision today
I took you down
And all my eyes hear now?
Rustling flora on dogwoods
Happy at the bird on their branches
They tapped at my door
They wanted in from the wind
They hoped to heal me
When a hole so vast
All recollection of gravity be long lost
When atmosphere’s touch
When sudden flares of solar light
Startles so to trigger a hurricane
What red-stained firmament
Marks tears visible light years away
What evidence is there
What proof of life
Or hope for hereafter
There on a Sunday
Working
Putting your fingerprints everywhere
I hoped it was a labor of love
When you looked down at the sawdust
Quietly
I wish I’d bothered you and asked
Wednesday morning, now
May my late words catch up to you
You take that space
You make it
Like no other
You breathe new life here
I’ll stop in soon
It was
Not rejection
We were
Not denied
He let me rest my misplaced head
Upon his ordered shoulder
We didn’t speak
And neither reached for more
I’ve decided this
That lightning is a mere show
Who wrecks kids’ Ball games
Well, we’ll never!
Have the all
That others have
But when we truly look
We will ever
Have the so much more
Why do I
Go hours
Or days
Between checking in
With my me
When to me
It feels
So good
To connect
With my I
From a far away spot
To the center of my heart
I know you’ll find your way
I bet you’ll be an alien
To all I’ve ever asked
Pretend, will you?
As I acclimate
To say that so much stardust
So far
Left me dazed
And more than underwhelmed
Would be the best
Truth
So far
