INNERMOST BEING

where to put my eyes?

if everything i see is you.

gentle sketches on the page,

forms of a pair of mountain dwellers

snowed into a log cabin today

surrounding me with arms tomorrow

hover hold my shoulders, my middle back

on a red carpet 

a golden texture on the air

remember the sharp espresso in the white mornings?

now it's hushed loud night in dallas,

and a trinity at the center of the frame.

gold and gold and cascading red.

in the rearview mirror, the african stands for a spotless bride. like we all stood in the upper hotel room -- he tells me about mayer and miley, a string globe of glittering premieres i'll cast him as the father. standing. on sunset passing over the street cutting through the mesas --- a beam of neon tangerine  robbie on my right side the african nodding off for twenty minutes the rustle on my shoulder, the rustle of the tent | absolute value in the night sky. | look up! elk low.  for the jewish new year we shiver in steel chairs dan sounds the horn with a wounded knee it's the little things, i tell tami, for wild tears, baal on the big screen we're ramping up, tell me you're coming back for me. flags like wings on a sunday night. you're coming back for me. robbie's eyes catch the light like always never far from home. and we stand.
