Tiny souls.

Tiny souls

You and I.

In endless shadows

We do or die.

The sun peers out

We wonder why.

Light over world

We fight the high.

Such long introversion

Time that we fly.

Reluctance ends accord

We release final sigh.

The sun glistens over,

And catches our eye.

tiny souls

They are here now, in the human world, black instruments pointed toward targets

tunneling through grace. Ruin, the most real and palpable conclusion. It is leveled, face down.

Ruin gets up. Once brushed off, it glows. There are moments when I no longer live

in the future tense. I walk forward as if I am limitless. The angels come to impart a message

as they scribble on brick, revise the landscape. Grace is an arrow shot through air. It hits a surface

and the surface hums. It rises and lifts above the crosshatch of collapse. I believe this hope

is a table I dance on. This country is not on the map. This place known for its bad

presidents, poor plumbing, misdirected people. We are using this as a blueprint. A nation

of insomnias, we sit on stoops listening to one radio station: testing, testing in the humid air.
