Stumble in
Blurry through the gates
as you blur in a stumble on the horizon
you are staring in
from the inside
while the inside looks away
You made bricks of mud
at bible school
you smashed grapes
with the tender feet of a child
now vinegar in a dusty bottle
somewhere across the walls
it longs to be a letter from
one walled-off lover
to another
from a child
to a long buried mother
from the life giving river
to forever and ever and ever…
we all long to tear these walls down
we damn them all our lives
from orion's sword
to my poetic rust
70 lightyears
from campfire to streetlamp
from streetlamp to dust
our nameless littlenesses
interwoven
confused together
we tend the fire
we mend the fox fur nebula
Throw on dusty sneakers
and collapse
into a 7-11
for the pillars of creation
back home
in a helium flash
our sun's death
in the breath-like halo
on the ghost
of Jupiter
please don't tell me how it happens
I've seen it all before
vinegar in a half-drunk bottle
I've seen it too many times.
