Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

A bony finger points toward
bridges, 
courtyards,
waiting rooms to some final 
D e s t i n a t i o n 
Liminal spaces haunting 
Like the wide distance between
the earth and the moon 
As a set of rules 
defined by invisible ink
ambiguous enough…
To exist completely suspended within our reality 
Depending on where you stand 
and where I stand 
The point of arrival 
begins where tops of sneakers 
Touch 
As eyes roam up 
and Meet 
Settling in 
As quiet descends like dawn’s comforting mist 
s t r e t c h i n g to say 
Something is here…
In presence as it is 
Gently asking for
An unmooring of 
the looming boats we keep for safety 
It requires 
A sacrifice 
of a thing we may know exists 
to hold what could…
