Is of Night
The smiles I get when I dance around the bar
Smell
Like charmed songs
Hummed
By broken unmbrellas
I tried to furl them, neatly return them
Unburned
To my only daughter
A dropped leaf
Curling
On inscrutable axis
While in the ocean's darkest
Evenings
The test begins
First one leg, then, perhaps, a foot
Extends
Creation's reach
The words I utter make no sense
Muted
But full of wonder
Arching into the aether like a dream
Silent
The catacombs empty into eternity
