waiting but always space to lean into or swallow or fall back on
ease in eyes and steps in hands -- motion in emotion / stillness in the bones
press sky to earth and count the change
rearranging stopgap dance steps steady as the flow
freefall curtain calls and no more stage unfurled
whirling back to wrinkle down -- irons in the fire
catch blank lines in borrowed time but turn toward other windows
carry out wide fantasies in sleepbynumber states
far away and moving still
nothing there to catch
know the space between and take cool comfort in the draft
apologies up borrowed sleeves -- no coat for travel in
return the ticket, punch the card -- awake in distant mind
unbuttoning three wheels and tenting some new city
the station stops and whistle blows as the menu's yet to right
let me tell the story once it's ready to be given
wait the cards and slice the sky -- a galloping uneven

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
