if i ask what more they can take, they will indeed find something.

i cannot think in the larger font
i am instead the keeper of format and cold tile floors

i cannot see the mountains where you are
i am instead counting the lines and the cracks
where god speaks to me in the precision of numbers
where at the end
if there is an end to this
i will have words to speak into the atmosphere that will have meaning

i cannot catch the river in your eyes
my coyote tail tucked in
i am instead bringing down the dawn in the desert
coughing out the feathers
from swallowing the moon

i cannot navigate the stars or dunkle materie or other worlds
i am instead fractal and dividing to the inside of my own soul
going on and on into innerspace, the darkest matter of all
a heavy thing
bound to the center of this burning earth

i am instead
more than what i cannot be

Dunno if I've ever mentioned it, but I think you're bloody good.
You should do whatever it is broke indie chicks do to get their poetry out there. It would be worth it.
In my opinion anyway.

poetry is unfortunately a hard sell and harder to publish. but i have finally started to look into where i might get it published. so we shall see.
