- early am: on a makeshift bed of belief -

magnetic
and not at all synthetic
i wrestle with the thought of you
the sheets are warm
with the friction of my skin
stirring
and shaping them
into clear objectives,
through light,
on the adjacent wall

the expanse of this
is so great a weight
that i wonder
if our souls,
at their assembly point,
could take over the world

the light of day
as a rule
will bring
the upright truth of it all,
of all this

as sure as the sun,
and as beautiful
as the moon
