The Absence of Wavelength

Keeper Of My Retaining Wall

It Flew Into The Bay Window

Winging my way through the world today
I saw the sky in your eye
But there was no passage through

Your blunt force
Knocked something like sense into my head

You’re an illusion I want to fly through
Moth after your flame now lies in red mulch

Poorly disguised creature, motionless,
Reflects below its deflector

With mechanical groan, you appear, near
This stunned spirit, becalmed,
Chest heaving. No resistance, but I fear

You believe this a sign, willing trust,
A bond with my nature

To the owner of thick glass mirroring clouds,
Hopeful sunrises, another world is hiding

Where you kneel, a miracle heals
And a heart raises up with strength to lift to heaven

Back to a blue we will never view together
Peaceful coexistence exists
In the mind
of the keeper
of my retaining wall.
