That ether sky

I often walk alone at night
my shoes nearly falling off and
my mouth bustling with words and phrases

The ground falls away and gives unto
the lonely sky that swallows up
in order to give wonder a new birth

I always preferred a country sky,
the stars cascade and bow in
cosmic decadence, the entire universe was for me

I often walk carefully at night
and you should take my busy hands and
brush them softly, whispering that

that I don't have to...anymore.
