I Love You Night


Indigo sky running into language
The clouds speaking to stars
Sparkling in the moments between them
A sudden symphony of synchronicity
Provokes a panicked pattern in the ivy
Graffiti growing up from the ground
The tired tree drops its reason
Fate floating by leaves me feeling
As if food for the giant in our dreams
Grass teeth gnash at our living ends
Chewing on time for forever
I feel myself being eaten by my own backyard
Alone in a chorus of hungry whispers
A little Grace in the wind chimes
