Poetics

May the cosmic dust of silent solar wind collect slowly upon my shoulders,

so that one day I may have a form accrued over time,

unknown to my burning consciousness.

A life only possible when I remain still long enough,

Then, my gestures can be true.

Analysis doesn’t have the heart to put things back together,

Only love can do that.

A fresh haircut, a step of faith doing the thing the thing that has proven
