Two more 'til whole.

Trouble is, what,
in heaven's name,
is whole?

Death is whole. Complete. Fin.

Until then, it's fragments
finding,
floating,
to and from the heart ...
hoping for wholeness,
healing as able,
hurting as it happens.

Two more, then, 'til ...
further healing.

I'll raise another prayer,
and even an Artois,
to that!

Everything in life
returns to the ground
gone, never to be regained ...

What do you glorify?
And what's it going to take,
for heaven's sake,
for you to not take your life for granted?

Keep looking within
and then all around
wait, what can really be claimed?

What do you glorify?
And what's it going to take,
for heaven's sake,
for you to not take your life for granted?

OUT OF BREATH. SLEEP DEPRIVED.
'gotta just live in the NOW.
KEEP THE FAITH. REST IN GOD.
'gotta just live in the NOW.

One breath at a time
is often what it takes
to hope for any tomorrow.

What do you glorify?
And what's it going to take,
for heaven's sake,
for you to not take your life for granted?

Harboring hurt is
one foot in the grave
and a sure fire sign of sorrow.

What do you glorify?
And what's it going to take,
for heaven's sake,
for you to not take your life for granted?

OUT OF BREATH. SLEEP DEPRIVED.
'gotta just live in the NOW.
KEEP THE FAITH. REST IN GOD.
'gotta just live in the NOW.

But even rhythm can feel wrong.
And grow deaf to the Song.
And the soul feel lame.
While walking on all the same ...

Supremely ...
strangely ...
absent.
The sorrow.
I saw instead abundant
tulips, tabletops
politely presented,
puppy-sized pounds of joy.
Home restoration.
Yes tulips instead of trauma.
Colors instead of crisis.
Love, not
lament.

Day began
in defensive crouch
(at the doctor).
Day continued
with writing in celebration
of a life.
Day ended
bored at the Board
or perhaps just utterly
exhausted ... but
with a voicemail
trumpeting news of a loose tooth
finally fallen.

I was mop-tired,
drenched with dense, heavy
dream-state.
