Dig
2006

I was watching the rain
drop
to the sound of your voice.
It’s been said in a thousand ways,
but you pull me back down
and you move me.
Your peace sets my mind
afire,
it curbs unrelenting inventions
and ventures to
blaze me a trail through the dust.
Staple each corner of my heart
to lock clear nights in.
Hold the stars that carry dreams
I whispered up
in young nights.
You find these things in me,
I’m not looking.
I locked these things in me,
but you’re digging.
