having times

seeped by a stream a crossing well hidden
proud pride like lion grips food
graceful jumping like reflected light on watches
i havent had times
edging towards the forwards
youve smiled and grasped along
as we silent spoke of curious thought
about our two bodies going
ahead and onto what we might become
but now im seeping into a stream
carrying you ill keep you above surface
just tell me about the beauty of the world
as i fight my treads in place
but perhaps youll jump on banks as passing
and walk down paths unworn
but on my back ill hold you up and listen as you sigh

dangle

suspended by this space between
a time of change and a time of solids
alone on wires stretched across
i sleep to dream of walking away
and wake to know im still above
a place of constant change
holding on to those stable parts
might be the way ive lived
but now its those wires that
suspend me above my comforts
of the years simply prior
hoping luckies keep me up and
keep me moving along
i pray but not to the prayer hearer
in fear of falling down
the one that answers every question
is silently away
and making a perilous crossing
with the quiet manic breaths
ill hope to be awake and moving
but tonight ill dream across
