tears telling time
for a heart
that once beheld beauty
and a moment so profound
that its felt its own beat

i saw an advertisement
for a movie
i did not watch
where it was possible to fall up
everyone wants to fall

like harland
and
wolff
i breathed
in

you who have birthed
a million poems...
whose eyes have seen
whose hands have touched
whose lips have tasted

The true worth
of genuine affection
counted like sheep
by the lonely...
they are dreaming dreams

writers
writing
readers
intently
reading

Stranded in Babylon
Searching for the Most Ancient of
In the Eye of the Tempest
Faith Guides My Way
To You

time stretched
spread thin
numbing resolution
screaming
silently

*read top to bottom then bottom to
writers
writing
readers
intently

i see you...
sitting there...
ice water tears...
filling...
your eyes...
