We are Earth
We are red rock
We’re what stars say in mid-night talks

We are wind
Elevation
Poignant, patient, punctuation

Fly sky, loud clouds

Crowns found

Why cry

We are fire
We are pow’rlines
We’re collaborators, and we’ll be fine

What sustains you, friend?

And, as one eternally tethered to the We that is you, too
I care not of the answer

Unless it entreats you
Go the distance, scale the heights!

For lengths you gain at our expense
Whether dirt road or Wall Street

Are, in fact, as ten steps back

How fitting with tears 
Already my eyes
Awake and about, too early for my taste today
Sitting before sunrise in morning’s faux light
Unfortunate scores, smiling lovers surprised on Kiss-Cam, toxic food stuffs
Damned Birds on the field 
Root, root, root ’round my thoughts 
But I wished
Thus, the tears
