Bedhead

There is a warmth, a certain serenity
As if the star sign of Saturn alone should bring such piece
A carrier, a vessel to fill with echoes, a universe to populate
With dreamed up memories
That oscillate among eons of beautiful visions

In the future, to try to recollect these instants
Yet never again to truly trespass on those clouds
No more to instill that voice of endearment
Fearful of making the call
Under the ominous threat of rejection

Instead to read the chapter on depression
Settle on a preference for melancholy
Hang her scented lightness of cloth on every resonant passage
Celebrate the star sign that brought thought transference, and
Ultimate joy, before I wake up and smell the coffee

Shower, eat, drive, meet, return
To sit for a further day, at that place, where the ether
Can carry the birdsong, where the effervescent passages
Of time past and time present are able to wander 
Undisturbed - gentleness in being personified


from 
Elbowed Out - Love of Listening to Michelangelo
