Miles to Go


 Morguefile: Alin

When this is done

I will lay you here

in that thin line

between earth and air

 

I will stop crying--

eyes will have dammed themselves

behind sloughs and marsh lands

where sanctuary now resides

 

When this is done

I will know who I am

and where my feet are

 

And if I am lucky

I will lie down with you

your laugh, fast and hard

behind my eyes.

    Your site is fallow no more. You never fail to deliver quality poetry. Not sure how you do it, but I'm damned glad that you do.
