Straight Home
(“Rebekah ran straight
home and told her family everything.” Genesis 24:28)
Now I’d rather play
than grouse all day about
far too many holes in the fabric, and how I never
knew the holes were there when I grew up
anyway.

Yes, I’d rather run and
split the one meadow
in half today and more tomorrow, and never be
late to strategize the best use for
waterguns.

Low, I’d rather look up-sky
than hook my hopes
in half today; simply, sincerely out of fear
I would fall more slippery than all I
undertook.

Pool, the waterfall
steepens sharp; crawling fails
the anticipation that waits atop greasy rock
granite, the peak graffiti I had
hoped to scrawl.

This, seriously play
than dream I pray about
all the unsewn holes in the old words, and how I always
wished the talk matched the fun of (timeless)
past bouquets.
