Richard Wright’s asleep.
In his eyes the cold rain drips.
Five,

moonlit night
a catamaran glides over

one part goodwill
two parts love
stardust
to make it happen

needles snap
while knitting a scarf
the breaking point
at which our lives
fall

in my fairytale the rocking chair

Jupiter rising

about you

blue

Embers carry you
into empty morning blue
full
of red, waiting
