    Halcyon surrender

    Just words in a song?

     

    poems lit from the inside?

    with a sigh or a moan

     

    that thunders its refusal

    to be caught by skin

     

    to be bound by bone

    such fragile shelter

     

    shaking in the wind

    shaking in the wind

     

    A wolf would blow it down

    so bring him the lamb

     

    Bring him the lamb

    a trembling mess

     

    Or let him inside

    to rip the skin

     

    to gnash the bone

    befriend the thunder

     

    To do what he’ll do

    to take what is his

    I make lists in my head
    When I cannot sleep from being
    Overtired

    Need
    From everyone
    All the time
    Endlessly

    The first list includes
    Halcyon days before I was
    Here
    Tied down
    And what I loved about them

    The second
    A list of now and
    The people I adore

    But which one is better
    Is only dictated by
    My own perception
    And I fall into
    A fitful slumber
