veer out into the clouds.
witness
their slow dance.
with the sun.
notice the way
their touch
lingers through
comes close
shows us the path

veer out into the clouds.
witness
their slow dance.
with the sun.
notice the way
their touch
lingers through
comes close
shows us the path
// hudson biko
look at the way the sun glimmers
through the gallery of the sky.
seeks you.
behind rugged corners
and open wounds.
sees you.
in all the fierce
and subtle ways
you break through
// hudson biko
settle
where the wind
calms.
and your breath
is light
// hudsonbiko
the sun lingers
between the branches.
holds the spaces
vacated by the silence
of the leaves.
it is all so bare.
and so full.
a light.
so bright.
reduced
to shadows.
// hudsonbiko
there are times
when i do not fear
the fall.
when i look at the streams
run down the earth.
and think.
of all the ways.
the pour
helps the flowers
rise.
