it moves
in slow motion
& settles onto surfaces
like a layer of dust
until the wind comes in
wild and robust
whipping it into a tornado
that steals your breath
your eyes are wide
& your ears are bleeding
from a noise
that leaves
an inaudible mess

the laughter of a child
geese
on a cool Spring night
rain
on a tin roof at camp
and these
simple joys
are simply enough

of sadness
and extermination
I've seen how horrible
this world can be
I've felt the furnace
and found solace
in the less horrible
which felt like cheating
but I didn't have
anything left
but tomorrow
there will be a sun

fractured my fingers
I watched the flesh
crumble from my bones
as death climbed
my limbs
searching for my soul

from the sun
through the leaves
left me feeling
the bounty of this day
would be gracious
and plenty

of the building
were weeping
as if someone told them
they'd be lonely tonight
but as night arose
lights began
to flicker on
and shine through
the tears
like fireflies in a clearing
