i saw you
seeing them
glide past
slow in their hovercraft
i felt you
wanting to be with them
you boldly
ask
once turned away
they say
they're busy now, but disingenuous-
ly they want
to know
if they can
stop by later to
enjoy your
hospitality
psarcatus
leaves are raining down
tween their
car and thee
loosed by
winds of wanting
their chaotic
flight, o gravity
are weighted
in that hollow space
seeds of
disappointment
falling
not they so
full of emptiness
you say again
your silent
mantra/pained refrain
i cause to
picture you and they
gliding past
the holo-field
laughing loud
into the wind
within your
envelope of friends
conversation
and camaraderie
i could have
had a lot to say
were i there
and had the confidence
alas, the
image fades away
and now your
pain is mine again
o how i
would shelter thee
o how i
would show thee how
the
satellites watch over we
they
calculate our lonely fates
electrons
weep the failed connect
o circuits
please direct we
let we
ride around
in your mystery
i memory the
bright
moonstar-filled
night
we sat on
Alem-Hem
we watched the bumbumblebees’
breezy
pollination dance
above the
cronflower waves
our quiet
peace and our beliefs
our diamond
haze and our embrace
our moons and
stars, our plans unspoken
lived we one
that holy moment
our bubble
if burst
could rock
the whole of paradise
then came the
call that caused our fall
my snaregun
and my uniform
vacuum-packed, weightwaited
with transport for me
to the
human conflagration
but you
wouldcouldn’t come with me
to the outer Centìces
ring
nor
couldwould i darecare want thee to
play any part
within that thing
would i could
have stayed with thee
in your arms
and the fields of paradise
and so i fell
and now
wouldcould i
couldwould do more
were i alive
than watch and
feel
and breathe
thy pain
o gods how i
would shelter thee
o gods how i would show thee how
the satellites watch over we
how their electrons weep for we
o how i would reside in thee
and ride around in your
mystery
above you now
in radioclouds
i watch as currents shift
adjustments to our atmospheres
alignment of our ether rift
tho gone, by grace
of holy space
by grant of guardian mind
allowed am i
glad ether tears
abundant silent whispers to
sweet confidences
in your ears
with gratitudefull ether heart
now ever i
watch over thee
and ever i
and ever thee
and ever we
will be
