stasis
the mouth of a river knows where to go
clouds always collide
with no sound
///
I feel you but not around
me
your weightlessness a scar
half moon aglow
a stranger's kiss
fumbles for what's yours
I hold mybreath
as a corset tight
for your unfolding
across vast place
called
now and
then
where the why slides down
too fast to know
while hoping
hangs on
talons
and
teeth
I cringe
or
I smile
weakened by fear
imprisoned souls
ours infinite plan
I am scared
you will land
eventually
oh oh
just beyond
my
reaching heart;
patient
though
weak.
