Go out as a baby’s grip
on everything
Come in a deep breath that carries
the scent of wilted Autumn
Seek solace, frantic and mistake
the branches for roots
Know your self as the whole world, held
and dreaming in its hammock
Run and find
nothing new
Stay here
and dilate your lens
Try to chew yourself
to sleep
But fullness awaits you within
every cell
and the moment
you regard yourself as me
and stand behind the eyes of heaven
Love primordial throws the match
so that everything that is dark and dormant in us
rises up and comes
blazing.
