Somethings
August 3, 2011
There’s much to be said and it’s tonight,
That it pulls me away from nothing into
Nameless something, a glimmer’d light
Across my bones as I fold towels in dark.
Your song rippling in my bluey pools,
The image of bend where neck meets shoulder
Pushes something deep inside of me deeper,
Deeper away from heart and hope and mind.
That bend where shoulder meets neck
Just like my house on the prairie, alone
With dried light and strangely, a tree.
Not a thing to wake up for tomorrow, so I thought
To think about the infinite eternal
Even though it’s been a long time coming.
It must have felt like something.
A word I haven’t been for a while.
Word, word, rest in home.
