open your eyes, from 1995.
July 28, 2011
look up on that first night
of land for miles
cool breeze
and night smell
at the dome of christmas lights
all planets accounted for
my God what a sight
blink
and see again
the paths your shining friends
take on
shapes and spirits
blink
and see
order happen
emotions and stories
blink
and see less
blink
and your friends are fading
i saw it, right there, to the right
no, it’s gone
lie on the ground
smell
close your eyes
feel the wind crawl
open your eyes-slowly
there is only one left
one glittery bit
the brightest
strongest
the one that is the sum
of the sacred body
that you know you saw
or think you saw
that is gone
if you see as it can be
seen
you shall hold
the sight forever
you are the sight
one
that can not be lost
or shut out
in front or behind
there forever.
