ENOUGH

time is memory is time

stretch me out like the handiwork of your heart.

never together until we're apart

sink deep, this is real, i'm enough.

aspen circle like stars in the sky.

hold their hands, not in dread of letting go,

but because it's good to hold their hands.

look to your left and see home.

look to your right and see a son.

valley golden with morning light

i said dawn was breaking and you opened your eyes

to find sunset in reverse 

and an interdimensional autumn.

a new day.

what did I say?

teagan will be fine.

i'm hiding her under the deck in the rain.

let me feather you, brush up against you in shade

a shelter you haven't forgotten,

no matter what you thought.

you have fashioned me, forged me, evening dove --

i'm spun like threads in your universe.

the delicate fibers of monotony.

what if I said fragile was me?

here, and now, and found.

it's my favorite.

the thing you know most.

i'm the sea foam between your toes

i'm the bunk bed creaking as you climb

i'm the long sandy curls of a songwriter nine hours away

i'm the harvest that made its way into his hair

alone, for now, with me.

I'm enough, you said it and I believe it,

and that's enough.

what if you made it real to me?
