please pass the poetic
peace pipe
till the end
of this endless
flame retardant night
limited by blind spots
under a moon-quelled starscape
and swelling cataracts
of the restrictions of sight
only have each others
literal
metaphorical
trips within our own worlds
with which to find other walks of life
and raise hope
to ever find
the daylight
that mythical resuscitating sunrise
night vision goggles don't work as advertised
and at the end of another late night shift of sand
nothing else has ever brought me back from exhausted
so please keep on
keep passing it around
the swelling of my eyes
i can feel worlds in the droplets
