Intemperance

 

Above visibility, stars nova bright blaze through nascent galaxies.

Move inward

as Sunlight descends.

Cob-webbed lantern, too weak to flame,

forgotten among rusted childhood trains, stranded tinsel,

abandoned hero’s fantasies.

Sharp cries, wilderness passing.

What is not foreseen, not written or named

if encouraged to trust may reveal

unclaimed aspiration,

dilating horizons.

Inhale.

Chatty stream of energy emits

breaking news, ideations, elegant discourse formations.

Tip of the lip to the ear. Endear or outrage.

Mages, seers ripen to season, gaggle

in choral rehearsal, dervish celebration.

Pleasing balm, sweep of calm meditation.

Vibrant inebriation of oxygen; enlivening

wind brings shivers, awe to

exhale

on wings of whistling

intentions set wild.

Restorative love doesn’t involve

seamless melding

perfection to perfection,

but all those cracks, crags, crevices

hoping (aching) to be filled.
