YOU ASCENDANT |
I had visions of you wandering alone |
Daylight burst against |
Printed flowers on your dress |
And the sun in your hair |
Silver white |
I watched you walk |
Purposefully along the shoulder of the highway |
Indifferent to traffic and it to you |
As if neither existed |
Alone there like all of us |
And the summer colors shone |
Bright open fields of goldenrod |
The sky soft stone |
Sapphire and selenite |
Agate |
Blue lace |
Pale white bone in brush |
All things to dust return but you keep on |
Heading westward quick down Fulton Street |
As if a thing beyond compelled you walk now there |
And you could not take your eyes away from it |
And I could not either |
And quickening your pace |
Walking in the wind blown backwards toward home |
Your face expressionless |
You stopped suddenly |
Still as carved stone |
Waiting for the world to catch up |
And I watched you |
In awe always |
Even in dreams |
You raised your arms |
Cross-shaped like a monument |
Feigning permanence there |
Denying her death and yours |
And traffic stopped to watch |
I knew you’d leave then |
Ascending heavenward to breathe |
Never in panic again |
Peace for you |
Forever |
Somewhere |
I carried on in my visions |
Tired and lost for years this way |
Only half aware of the light |
Shining against the dark |
Bright until we die |
When I die let me do so beside you |
When we die let us go at the same time |
When the end comes will we see |
Bright lights burst through the evergreens? |
Feel the blown sand at our ankles or hear rustling needles in the breeze? |
Who can know? |
If we could choose the way we leave |
Fill out circles on a ballot sheet |
Vote the way we’ll go |
How the noise will cease |
Finally and forever for us both |
What would we do? |
How would we go? |
Would we pass out in barracks beneath bedsheets |
Brand new sneakers on our feet |
Two by two into a comet tail peacefully to sleep |
Forever dream? |
When will we leave? |
Will we all just disappear? |
Or can we be hung up in a gallery |
Displayed permanently forever with family |
Painted in frames? |
Variations on a theme |
How will we leave? |
Cut in threes? |
Displayed in glass cases? |
Death in the mind of living things? |
Can it be quietly? |
Like in the morning drinking coffee with the sunrise |
Through the lilies in the window of our bedroom to the garden |
Or just drift off watching TV |
6:30 in the evening |
Never see it coming at all |
Or can we live forever here |
Be buried in our best memories |
Drunk beside that drainage ditch |
Road trip east of Denver |
The prison in periphery |
Life too beautiful too sweet despite everything |
Could we choose to stay forever there |
And never leave? |
How long do I have to fix this? |
Years lost too indifferent and afraid |
While you burst to earth around me like lightning at night |
How’d I miss a thing so bright? |
And where does the shame go now if never away? |
No one to blame but me |
I wanted everything |
How’d I fail so badly? |
I have visions of you wandering alone down every city street |
Light shaded everything at once |
And flowers burst against your knees |
And you asked for me to leave |
Graceful in your sprinting now through all wind |
Your skin pale silver lightning the seasons of your grief |
But you are free now |
And you asked for me to leave |
I love you deeply then and now as ever |
Never waver once again at all, in any timeline, I will bend them all |
To find you back to breathe |
And you asked for me to leave |
I will rend you from those dreams |
Release the flowers in the street |
Burn the monuments in plywood |
And ascend there |
To be everything you need |
I will be everything you need |
I will be everything you need |
I will be everything you need |
