falling in the rain

no end ...

This home, this hold

this breath between forevers

... a kiss, this kiss ...

Says the shadow
come, pass away
... from counting suns.

He, just he
only now, he alone
... is the night passing.

A thickness
of what's missing
... from an empty room.

More heart, more
to a morning that asks

Here, there
this way, that way
... no way too is home.

Without need
or spare moment to tell
... stories of forest.

Soak and swell
the smell, the rush and tarry
... of summer.

quick to shore, to veil

Night's breeze
shh ... names
only trees can speak.

Prayers in the rain
... what is spoken
... what is meant.

deep, deep the toes of trees
... I'm ashamed.

ripping out the sun

to paint in the night.

expecting to see and

Shh ... stay
stay and love another day
and another ... and every other.

sounds of nothing

Astonishing unfold -
poor folly
of the cling.

to the caresses
of moment.

Never only this
never quite gone -
swaying with trees.
