Movement

I love that he answered the call
Hung up a shingle, of sorts
And waits bold in the Capitol street-front picture window at 8:52am
To tell us it’s never too late
But it’s time 

Dustless Dirt Road

Somewhere a polished garnet -an anchor- has dropped

And it is dark and I cannot find it to lift it to continue on

If Any have known of these things then let Them too know this

It is as I have said: I love you for all of these lifetimes I’m given

Harken back to today and I wish

I wish you would stand, for I am leaving the table

I wish you would find me at my secret spot and whisper to me the secret joke on Earth that it is

I wish you would tell me I’m pretty to my eyes

I wish you would bring me all the flowers and I don’t care if they’re cut or holding tight to their roots and will muddy my hands

I wish after all this time you would not need a condition in order

In order to say my name

For all of This Life I’ve wished but I do no longer wish 

For what you do not know or see or want or would want to know or see

Tomorrow, with daylight, my Rock and Tether I will find and hoist and I will trust

I will trust you to tell Them I love Them and the way They love you

green

To lie down somewhere warm
And, but for the new moon, green
Removed from all vice and sound and care
Letting our breath fight the demons 
Pretending the other is not there
Unless it gets cold
