Elicit in my head
A Shrill sound
a nightmares end
the door knobs turn
the knowing jumps out
Smiling
at my disbelief
at the first instep
I am Open
to the sun
From its warmth
I know this day
Is setting in the pink
Swirling
have I lost you
By running from your futures no’s
To cliff edges
From grounds below an endless grey
To a doubt that chases sleep, prayers and
The hopes
I placed on the altar
My eyes are behind this song
As it plays to my tears and…. ….
Put a light in my stirrup
The warmth of Ashkenazi
Forsook all one dreads
To find comfort in a bean cake
but for a stick of freedom
I sipped a sakè with Bushido
So my autumns may come to life
And, in falling to their doom
smiles
to a slow crash of petals
and to a something that knows
