I cannot be
my own lover
don't think
I haven't tried--
sitting on a window,
waiting for someone to pull me off
the world grew hot with color and still
I sat there, summering,
willing myself not to fall
you might understand
if you could have seen me
on the ground a year earlier, ripped open
like an envelope carrying bad news
but fingers will
never tell you the full story
my heart is a helicopter with nowhere
to land
though there is
so much land

In my dream, the angel shrugged & said, If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination & then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.
