gom

of fire brimble, ghosts & dogs
to seek respite before the dawn
thick
grows regret from murky depths
rise from folds velvet sighs the breath
be quick!
fleeting we touch our shine
be quick!
the hawk will dive & dine
linen bones forgotten lore
solace echoes from the open door
what seeds may fall
what dreams may come
unbidden
hidden
become

of atmosphere gimlets, brambles & grace
passing cars--tempting fates
anger buried in knots pink & brined
next to heart's bruised crinoline
be quick!
sit sit sit
before the shrine
be quick!
cooper's hawk's forgotten valentines
moonlight lingers
day awaits
hyacinth green & crocus fingers
forbidden
forgiven
undone

be quick!
to what end this enterprise?
long the day--brief the night
viewed from this bended rhubarb light
why the hurry, why this press for time?
a fool's quickness love's secret rhyme
be still!
we have ten thousand years and a day
to hold the space
to steal fear's play
become
what seeds may fall
what dreams may come
meander thru the morning's hours
of lullaby bones & silver bowers
be still
sit
listen
await
await
we are sky's vast template
be still
no hurry
just allow
the breath the pace of here & now
