James Walton #104 after the Solstice




a full moon comes
the sky wrung out in cold acrylic
a communion wafer

all day it has lingered
blown out of the night
now in anchor against drift

whispering

the falling point
of water
is the distance
between
a velocity of tears
and the upbeat
from anticipation
to departure

evening mist tangles wipers

transfers the rest of my life
into a slower arc
a tardis convergent

this glove of Winter’s challenge
a beauty spot freckle
horizon dawdle at light fall

your animal self knows the truth

make fire eat a warm meal
love settles in the spaces
of the splotchy engraves of living

the lunar tease can wait
