I stretch into a new life;

howl at the lake till it mirrors right,

let my shadows lead the way.

I flicker like sunlight,

warning &

weapon,

shatter like a cloud,

all wet &

gone.

.

I stretch into a new day;

saddle the night to my thighs,

give the trees what cannot be carried.

I love like fog,

dense &

thick,

bloom like a weed,

all wish &

gone.
