There must be a way
to splatter a tub-full
of this much daylight
on other places
-hollows, hallows,
the gallows.
-
to capture the propensity of
the backyard gate to swing and sl
am in the same movement.
-
to tease the greatest painters
in the world with that sunset
- that one, right there, with
violet and olive green
and a dash of mulberry.


-
defunct,
to plunge your hands into
the sound of leaves blowing
and the sight of them swirling on
their branches, and to close your eyes
and sense the change in the air currents
as the shadows blanket your face.


There must be a way
and
-
to do so
would make me feel safe,
a tad secure,
and positively necessary.
full title: woo the lackluster, tantalizing tableau; tell them they're the stars burrowing up in the sky, drifting closer or farther apart, lacing up their sneakers for the long trek, creasing down the center of the galaxy. cackle [wait until they pack their bags, then show them otherwise;
show them how much easier death is once they begin to burn].

I like my title. Please, dA, let me have my title.


watching a magnificent storm and chopping away at blackberry plants.

This was great, but particularly these parts:

"to capture the propensity of
the backyard gate to swing and sl
am in the same movement."
and
"defunct,
to plunge your hands into
the sound of leaves blowing
and the sight of them swirling on
their branches, and to close your eyes
and sense the change in the air currents
as the shadows blanket your face."

I could really feel them!
