A Full Day

Let me swell you              with good mornings, give you suns to soak up — Golden hour chains & earrings will be made.

 Then I could earn you              a bright day, build its height with bare hands ;; (For you, grime & grease are a grace to adorn.)

 All this, if you              might say “goodnight”… Meet me between the sheets & let me see your pale-moon face wane to sleep.

As an Ingrate

Damn heavy day, it took eight men just to drag it             from the Sun to the sky. Guts all tangled with hernias, necks and shoulders             bent awkward and aching.

 All that strife and sorry struggle, all the agony             for remorse so thankless ;; They struggle to bring a new Day to being, and each one I weep,              “Take it back, take it back.”

Hollow life ;; time rots me             inside out. Belly bursting filled with sand, glass for hours             squandered.

 Let me wander your shores, make the most             of a moment — Fill my lungs with bright stars             and sigh relief.
