Picture of Nate

wrapping my head against the possibility
the change happening suddenly:
the thought of you and us

and the future flashes and illuminates
showing the hollowed-out flesh
against the silhouette of bones and blood

take this chance over and over
let the world come to rest
and lie at your feet freed

from the leash and burden
of framing our lives against
a backdrop placed to cover the stage

the practice of practicing
for the one great moment
that finally arrives,

the endless waiting, all removed
washed like waves from the stony beach
where you are smiling at me
