Hope is
Yellow.
Like flowers.
Yellow as sour gall.
I hope I can write,
grind the knife.
I hope.

That Last Dream Before Waking

behind closed eyes
daybreak dreams are rising.
to run the length of wind,
to run where streaks of light
have been.
turning, turning,
half moon’s tide is turning.
I fall unseen
into a swathe of dark.
