Mending your buttons In the quiet afternoon Feels like eternity Has come loose The stray little threads Rubbed against The grain of the days, 'til Threadbare Buttons go loose But not fallen, not lost As I sew them back up Into place An artificial grace Of thinking, all is back In its place As the days go marching A tug at the string of things Just offstage Behind the scenes The threads go baring As I put my hand to your chest Remembering All the little things That keep you in my love

about

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow never was. Move your piece around the board, sheath of the physical. Light the lamp within. Corral. Catch sight of a fireball careening across the sky, blazing. Something is on fire, and it's coming down on us. Lull into the love that is afforded to you, lull into the lead of sleep, lull into the movies. Push, pull. Marching to our realizations, marching to work, marching to our resolutions. And you’re waiting, waiting for that call to come. Standing across from, standing next to, coming to a standstill. Earthly divide. The eternal afternoons, parallel. The moments when something moves closer. A phantom ship wafting, calling home across the water. Recreating the familiar, ancient original feeling. An expanse, cascading.
