the unknown horizons
wafer-thin words
cannot deter me,
I will know you, yet. I will get to be your friend.

umbrella sacred as last snow
water too deep to travel heights
in a snow dessert, stars look as wet
as your eyes obeying love and singing.

know you as I do
I know you didn’t really invite me
you merely played host you sent out signals,
why do you refuse to acknowledge me?
am I less or am I dense or am I invalid
wrong size for the womb of your love

tell me today if there were others standing
at your doorway
pretending to be seekers preachers teachers
would you turn away
do you dislike the fact
that I speak too less
focus on the tolerant handshake
to absolve disinterest and figure-out love.

I look at your window
it shines in the sun
I stand on the ground
in the shadow.

You will go far
you have a long way to go
but you will never understand why
the birds go round and round and round
and round and round
and we build perfectly straight bridges…

you will scream into the night
you will pick roses I will bunk poses
into the night we will pitter-patter
break procelain break ready pictures
break it all,

about you I have written
I refuse to bury you
if I can’t survive you
I might as well go away
I might as well go away
forget all my crafts, and magic-spells magic-spells
let my tears fall on my dry cheeks, dry cheeks.
