Stakes

One day is
entirely composed
of chances

They pose
here and there

Sometimes this
Sometimes that

Coming at our time
nervous and excited

intense as feelings

I am only
their shadow

The Consolations of a Longing

If I were to probe
a little
on love’s behalf

Left with butterflies
on the doorstep
after a long evening

There may be
no better way
to live

Than this falling
toward an elevated hope
of a future made clear

Wherever You Are

Eventually
we remember

A stitch in time
A stitch

in time defies
the mind’s craning

against itself
The light

has already begun
to diminish 

Come out come out

Pieces 
of a pattern

A sort of twilight
looming

The only certainty

The human heart
evolved

from the long rhythm
of walking

You’re it

I know it is a risk
To feel

Beliefs 
Slipped into

A twist of the mind
Coming out of

The relief of finding
someone

Among the stitches
Against the twilight

Light evolved as
the only certainty

Remember
You can’t catch me

Eventually
We feel

A piece of the
long rhythm 

The long-lived
summer days

slipped into

At peace in the mind’s
loomings

Walking the heart
home
