Cutting holes
in the walls
to let the ghosts out.
Free
as a bird,
a circling condor.
Sleep
the deep sleep
of the revenant.
Hold me close.
Never let me go.
Live
like a child
that grew up in wartime.
Climb
like a vine
to the top of the wall.
Bring fruit,
bring love,
and bring laughter,
or
don’t bring anything
at all.
Stars
in the sky,
sitting in judgement.
Holding my hand,
awaiting the news.
Fair
are the winds
in a parable.
Learning,
a lesson.
Quenching the sword.
Lost on the trail,
or found in an alley.
A little bit of this
goes a long way.
A fist fight
breaks out
during the reception.
Hold me close,
Darling,
don’t let me go.
