Back in the you us us are

Flight

I am punching holes in the walls of my life when you
enter inside lightly you lighting
my arms making them light. Tiptoeing. Seal
your mouth. Mine.
Eyes closed
You. I.
Together.
Rising.
Soaring.
Comes biting
Mid-March wind.

. . . scream of the butterfly . . .

that unfurling
metaphear

old song
ancient listening
sound of the start of everything and
the first anding
and all I have to date are dull litanies,
no quick beam of a storied moon, just
the ludicrous lowery of my own tongue-
locked embodiement d-

like a memory,
a past-his-bedtime-summer-boy,
peering out a flimsy wood-and-screen door, frame of a
musty green bungalow, nighted boy, dumbstruck, firstly
registering the rise and beat and rumbling trill, crickets calling,
lulling, scritching their lives away in impenetrable dark.
