Parading

I have just realized that the stakes are myself

At night I wade knee-deep into the water

Try to stay awhile longer.

I took to the thicket at dawn

thrill of the pulsatile universe unfolding across time,

Hold it like a crystal

next time / you order coffee watch more carefully as you pour

The present is always coming up to us, surrounding us.

Blue swims around you until you come to your senses,

do you love to love, is it
