#reach

daylight never reveals
the truth of things
you must wait till night
& the cordite flaring
of a match’s strike
then reach into the shadow

bury me in the sky
with full thanksgiving
and I’ll fly away
forever reaching out
to new horizons
to distant shores
and sunrises

morning birdsong
I accept grace in the moment
watch you sleep
let my love for you silently #reach
into an endless horizon of sunlight

that keeps the future
just out of #reach,

what mattered
when I saw it

out of reach spiders
spinning webs in my mouth
catching my words
then leaving
empty silk parcels
for you to pass by

awake
waiting for sleep
that is just out of reach
thoughts pass through
like night trains
whispering
nothing is true
nothing is true

read it deep in the night
read it again
right between the lines
praying a whiskey dusk
remains just out of sight

A white poem
A pure poem
A poem that #reaches the dirt
underneath your fingernails.

there is a wolf waiting
outside the door for you
it has an eye tooth snarl
ready to muzzle you
and everything is on fire but you
