Having seen all that it touched,
I see why they call it withering
Having seen all that it touched,
I see why they call it withering
Blades on trucks
on the freeway at night
gliding will turn
but never in flight
I’ll lie
before it a bit.
I need
the comfort of it.
Death shadows us
Every drop is a way back up
This problem of not being
who you are will not be
solved here where
the wind will blow you
from the bike
G is for God.
G doesn’t
sound at all like God,
but “God” doesn’t sound like God
either. God is the one
cupping her ear not caring.
His passing is from
the pedaling that’s done.
His pedaling makes
the passing we’ll see.
A single thought drifts in
hangs, goes
Milk light from the blue, aging night sky.
Drink at last of its newness.
