Tabernacle
Broken veil and promises
Things unkept and more unmade
Are keeping me afloat in time’s abode, A side, a positing
A setting off into the shadow
Way so long and so long laid
Racing to the ocean that is coming up inside Tears uncried and inward flowing
Urgency and hollows wide
A room so open
Naked cold emergency that follows Scenes of lingerie in falling water Like a world, a way, a calling
Unrecalled no more
Regretting and its history a setting Fluttered still and got away Burning door and broken day
Give me up and live me Like a life you didn’t ask for Like a line you didn’t read
