I Hold These Down

I saw you standing

Broken-backed on lost feet

Poison ankles bring you back

Weak and nothing.

Tomorrow's light

Shades your grace

And I know you never see

What is spoken lightly into these pages



You say divine

You say love's life brought you back.

The pen scrapes loudly in my ears



I hold these

These down.
