hurried notes from the time of the very bottom

I walk out to the bottom of the lake

whispers and snaps under my more worn feet

and high over my head huge cumulus creatures

look down on me in their reflections

as they creep by echoing the atmospheric wails

so I smile facing heaven

along the edge the wind blows an impatience into the heads of fall- budding trees

a worried crowd

 

I am impatient too

to open my lungs in a worldwide gasp

to be then overpowered and brought to meekness neath a wave

of the form

of all things

parents told me there was an emptiness inside me. I thought yes, I can feel it now. They said jesus would fill it. When that didn't work I heard only love can fix it. but that only grew it now i'm left aching bigger
