gazing upon a window near
the mind even farther than usual tonight
saunters clear
my reach cranes her imposing wishes
yonder a for
as longing swallows that last gulp of
bitter bruised pride from folly's jar
looking at the world this way
gives the world the right to look just so
back at me
so polluted and evolved
both it would seem are we
care giver and care receiver
bound for a few dozen years
(perhaps less)
to enter twine
in this space and form
such great depths filter to the surface
by the mere viewing of stars in their
innocent brightness born
such an angelic color
God's grace shining down
from heaven's alluring splendor
upon man
God's own favorite earthly fawn
