I feel you there,
blurred around the edges.
Can you feel me here,
this patience game
I'm playing -
A swell at the base of my spine,
an act of divinity or
the dorment
beast waking
with the sunrise -
For every misstep taken
I lie in waiting,
for a time when
the hopped, mist edges
of gold fill your lungs.
When the sky alights
with fireflies,
miles away you kiss
another's misguided flame,
ask questions with no right answer;
and flit across fingertips.

A Prayer Worth Posting
Green, is
the color of envy, and
so is her jacket, so
in its folds remember, the
strength needed, by another
to match breathing, calm
your nerves to sleep, think
who would do this for you, and
who would you in return, imagine
who to care for,
sit
face
be
there for, pace
yourself until you've
mastered, the art of
digesting deception, and
well meaning intentions,
as the moon doesn't lie
and neither will dreams -
so let the green of her jacket
melt into the grass and pass
through the earth until it
is absorbed by space and
the infinite beyond.
