Vigil

Night air thickens
fog sheers blanket
what elements still tell time

tongues merely mime
what already sails
by currents alone

if slow then still
this vessel stands
umoved impaled

The hard place

dark space
it's rock heavy

choreographing
night's march so

morning comes

between gaps
knowledge and wisdom
so thin it's light drawn 

winkles and grins
kookaburras laugh
faith reborn
