Poems from Books

They have lusted for a most moon moment
That seems impermanent

But caught clover on the line
After the owl had left the barn

And the halos began to show
Before the stare where everything disappeared

So the Earth grows larger gaining debris
We make meaning from all that we see

Forgetting it’s a dream
Where all that happens is accepted as sense

Without question and lost instantly
So it may be reclaimed

We’re skeptical that the pole is an angel
But trust histories we’ve never before experienced

And only see what has ceased to exist
For the real is too raw

Too overwhelming and the false
Is easier to learn from

For remembering means
You have forgotten everything

And must make the most
Of the little you’ve gained

Instead of bravely knowing
The mystery will never fall from your grasp
