LAVENDER LINING

eternity

is a great pressing of hands

against light as it

quietly washes itself in its own waterfall on soft marble &

crawls down through tree canopy and swaddles weary spruce

& sees its reflection and runs back to what bred it

see it has skin

there are many things

I do not believe in

yet, they still happen—

the flower closing at night

and pressing its palms to the

sunrise in gentle prayer

asking to be filled with fire

this vulnerability happens only in quiet

like a shimmer; like a mirage

can thirst live here

all this dusk

with a lavender lining

as if to say—leaving, too, is

a gift

as if to say—to touch

is in itself

to bury
