Dylan Foster Aug 28
I read some advice on how
to write in verse and then
I lay down to sleep but 
no sleep will come.

The low table away from the bed
Which holds so many words
calls me for further attention.
More more more my son!

I sit again, thinking on how
everything floats just right sometimes
at night
   
morning will arrive soon
like a soft animal with bared 
teeth, ready to wrestle and pin down 

I watch the air above the low table
in a daze
and the gathering dust
attach like tendrils
around 
my legs
And later I forget
to go for my morning walk
Dylan Foster Aug 28
River spirit rushing on,
of breaking stones that
turn the beds where
feet and
Bare knees soaken tread,
witness spines of leaves undress.

Shaking off dirt the creak of branches
dark against the road.
Cracks in the sky beneath
the doubled load of suns,
turning wheels and slowly breathe.

We transport our lightness to the flow
back and forth in summers return
we thankful for the illusion
As the clouds clear and the
senses shift home
That it were there to be found.
As the opal light begins to glow

— The End —
